CUTTING TOOL PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Some surfaces contain materials which can be toxic. When
working on materials that may contain lead, asbestos, copper chromium
arsenate or other toxic materials, extra care should be taken to avoid
inhalation and minimize skin contact.
The term cutting accessory is used to represent a cutting blade, cutting wheel
or a cutting bit.
1. Keep hands away from the cutting area and the cutting accessory.
2. Only use a cutting accessory of the recommended size (see
Specifications).
3. Check the cutting accessory for damage before each use. A damaged
accessory can break during use and cause serious injury.
4. Inspect material for foreign objects such as staples, nails or debris.
Remove from material before cutting.
5. Do not touch the cutting accessory or the workpiece surface cut with this
tool. They may be hot and could inflict a burn injury.
DRILLING PRECAUTIONS
The term bit refers to any drill bits, router bits or tool accessories that penetrate
a material and creates a cavity through a rotary motion.
1. Never force the tool’s bit. Forcing the tool will slow down the cutting speed of the
bit, causing it to bind. Apply gentle pressure and allow the bit to do the cutting.
2. Do not use a bit with a dull or damaged cutting edge. Keep the cutting edge
sharp and clean. A dull bit may cause the tool to skitter across the work
surface instead of penetrating the material. This may cause an injury and
will damage the workpiece.
3. Hardened gum and wood pitch on a bit slows the tool down and increases
the potential for binding. Remove the bit from the tool, then clean it with
