stall, possibly causing the power tool to kick
back.
5.2.6 Power tool use and care
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice
to secure the workpiece. The workpiece is thus
held more securely than by hand and both hands
remain free to operate the power tool.
b) Check that the insert tools used are compatible
with the chuck system and that they are secured
in the chuck correctly.
5.2.7 Electrical safety
a) Before beginning work, check the working area
(e.g. using a metal detector) to ensure that no
concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes
are present. External metal parts of the power tool
may become live, for example, when an electric
cable is damaged accidentally. This presents a
serious risk of electric shock.
5.2.8 Battery use and care
a) Observe the special instructions applicable to the
transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
b) Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or
fire. This presents a risk of explosion.
c) Batteries must not be opened or dismantled,
squashed, heated to temperatures over 100°C
or incinerated. A risk of fire, explosion or in-
jury through contact with caustic substances may
otherwise result.
d) Do not use batteries other than those approved
for use with the applicable power tool or appli-
ance. Use of other batteries or use of the battery
for purposes for which it is not intended presents
a risk of fire and explosion.
e) Do not charge or continue to use damaged bat-
teries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken parts,
bent or pushed-in and/or pulled-out contacts).
5.2.9 Work area
a) Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
b) Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.
Exposure to dust at a poorly ventilated workplace
may result in damage to the health.
5.2.10 Personal protective equipment
a) The user and any other persons in the vicinity
must wear suitable eye protection, a hard hat,
ear protection, protective gloves and breathing
protection while the power tool is in use.
5.2.11 Protective device
a) Do not switch the power tool on if the saw blade,
the blade guard, the pivoting guard or the riving
knife are not fitted correctly.
6. Before use
6.1 Battery use and care
NOTE
Battery performance drops at low temperatures.
Never use the battery until the cells become fully
discharged. Change to the second battery as soon
as a drop in performance is noticed. Recharge the
battery immediately so that it is ready for reuse.
Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Never store
the battery where it is exposed to direct sunlight or
sources of heat, e.g. on heaters / radiators or behind a
motor vehicle windscreen. Batteries that have reached
the end of their life must be disposed of safely and
correctly to avoid environmental pollution.
