and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• 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.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove
the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
•
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories, tool bits, etc., in accordance
with these instructions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from
oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
5) Service
• 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.
WARNING! The use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust,
which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other
injury. Always use protection appropriate for the dust exposure.
Direct particles away from the face and body.
Handling the power cord on this product may expose you to
chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
CAUTION:
Always follow proper operating procedures as defined in this
manual — even if you are familiar with use of this or similar tools.
Remember that being careless for even a fraction of a second can
result in severe personal injury.
WARNING! To avoid the risk of personal injury, do not modify this
power tool or use accessories not recommended to your tool.
WARNING! Read warnings and conditions about your
carbide-tipped saw blade.
WARNING!
Do not operate the saw without the proper blade
guard in place for all through cut operations. Make sure the blade
guard is reinstalled immediately after finishing any non-through
cut operations which require removal of the blade guard.
• Carbide is a very hard but brittle material. Care should be taken
while mounting, using and storing carbide tipped blades to
prevent accidental damage.
• Slight shocks, such as striking the tip, can seriously damage the
blade. Foreign objects on the workpiece, such as wire or nails, can
also cause tips to crack or break off.
• Before using, always visually examine the blade and tips for
cracks, breakage, missing or loose tips, or other damage.
• Do not use if damage is suspected. Failure to heed safety
instructions and warnings can result in serious bodily injury or
loss of eyesight.
•
Read instruction manual and know your tool. Read and
familiarize yourself with entire instruction manual. Learning the
tool’s proper applications, limitations, and specific potential
hazards will greatly minimize the possiblity of accidents and
injury. Make sure all users are familiar with its warnings and
instructions before using tool.
• Guard against electric shock by preventing body contact with
grounded surfaces.
For example: pipes, radiators, ranges,
refrigerator enclosures.
• Keep guards in place and in good working order. Blade guard
must be in place for all through cut operations. Reinstall the blade
guard immediately after finishing any non-through cut
operations which require removal of the blade guard. Never
operate the saw without the blade guard in place for any cut
which does not require it to be removed. Make sure the blade
guard is operating properly before each use. A guard that is loose,
damaged, or is not functioning correctly must be repaired or
replaced.
•
Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard, riving
knife or the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
Inadvertent contact of these items with the saw blade could
cause a hazardous condition.
•
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
Form habit of checking
to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool
before turning it on.
• Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite
accidents. DO NOT leave tools or pieces of wood on the saw while
it is in operation. Distraction or a potential jam can be dangerous.
•
Do not use in dangerous environments.
Do not use power tools
in damp or wet locations or expose to rain. Keep the work area
well lit. Locate the tool in a level area. It should be installed in an
area that provides enough room to easily handle the size of your
workpiece. Cramped, dark areas, and uneven slippery floors invite
accidents.
• Keep children and visitors away. All visitors should wear safety
glasses and be kept a safe distance from work area. Do not let
visitors contact tool or extension cord while operating.
•
Make workshop childproof with padlocks
and master switches,
or by removing starter keys.
• Don’t force tool. It will do the job better and safer at the feed
rate for which it was designed.
• Feed workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend or twist the
workpiece. If jamming occurs, turn the tool off immediately,
unplug the tool then clear the jam.
Jamming the saw blade by
the workpiece can cause kickback or stall the motor.
• Use the right tool. Don’t force the tool or attachment to do a job
it was not designed for. Don’t use it for a purpose not intended.
•
Use the proper extension cord.
Make sure your extension cord is
in good condition. Use only a cord heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A
wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an
extension cord 25' (7.6 m) or less in length. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or
jewellery. They can get caught and draw you into moving parts.
Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended when
working outdoors. Also wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
• ALWAYS wear safety goggles that comply with United States
ANSI Z87.1 and a face shield or dust mask if operation is dusty.
Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are
NOT safety glasses.
• Secure work. Use clamps or a vice to hold workpiece when
practical. It’s safer than using your hand and frees both hands to
