Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com SAFETY WARNINGS WORK AREA 1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents. 2. DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite dust or fumes. 3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating any power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. ELECTRICAL SAFETY 1. Power tools must match the power outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Correct plugs and outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock. 2. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Any water entering power tools will increase the risk of electric shock. 3. DO NOT abuse the electrical cable. Never use the cable for pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cable away from sources of heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk of electric shock. 4. Use outdoor extension leads. If working outdoors, always use an approved cable extension suitable for the power rating of this tool (see specifications), the conductor size should also be at least the same size as that on the machine, or larger. 5. When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely. We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply via a Residual Current Device (RCD). PERSONAL SAFETY 1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when you are operating a power tool. Do not operate a power tool when you are tired, ill or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication. A moment of inattention may result in personal injury. 2. Wear personal protective equipment including eye protection. Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid shoes or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. Use a face or dust mask if operation is particularly dusty. Wear ear protectors/defenders as the noise level of this machine can exceed 85dB (A).

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com 3. DO NOT over-reach. Keep your proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. 4. Concentrate on the job in hand, no matter how trivial it may seem. Be aware that accidents are caused by carelessness due to familiarity. 5. Avoid accidental starting of the machine. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging the machine in to the power supply. Plugging in power tools that are switched on invites accidents. 6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. For best footing, wear protective footwear. Keep floor clear of oil, scrap wood, etc. 7. Wear gloves while handling saw blades and always store them in the protective packing provided. A dust mask should be warn to reduce the inhalation of harmful dust. 8. Always remove and stack cut timber in a suitable place, well away from the saw operator. 9. Switch the machine OFF immediately after the task is completed. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE 1. DO NOT force the power tool. Use the correct accessories for your application. The power tool will do a better and safer job at the rate for which it was designed. 2. DO NOT use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. 3. Disconnect the power tool from the power supply before making any adjustments or storing the tool. These measures will reduce the risk of the power tool starting accidentally. 4. Store power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with these instructions to operate this product. Power tools are potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users. 5. Maintain power tools in top condition. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, broken parts, or any condition that may affect the machine’s operation. If damaged, have the machine repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. 6. Check the power tool for damage before use. Any damaged part should be inspected to ensure that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Any damage should be properly repaired or the part replaced. If in doubt, DO NOT use the machine. Consult your local dealer.
