5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of
fire when used with another battery pack.
b) Use battery tools only with specifically designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal
objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small
metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a
fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery.
Avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, seek additional medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
e) Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack.
Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Safety Instructions for All Saws
a) Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second
hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding
the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you
from the blade below the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a
full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure
the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work
properly to minimize body exposure,blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and shock the operator.
f) When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This
improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
