The proximity of the blade to your hand is
hidden from your sight.
Keep hands from between the gear
housing and saw blade holder.
The
reciprocating blade holder can pinch your
fingers.
Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Bent
blade can break easily or cause kickback.
Before starting to cut, turn tool "ON" and
allow the blade to come to full speed.
Tool can chatter or vibrate if blade speed is
too slow at beginning of cut and possibly
kickback.
Always wear safety goggles or eye
protection when using this tool. Use a
dust mask or respirator for applications
which generate dust.
Secure material before cutting. Never
hold it in your hand or across legs.
Small
or thin material may flex or vibrate with the
blade, causing loss of control.
Make certain all adjusting screws and the
blade holder are tight before making a
cut.
Loose adjusting screws and holders
can cause the tool or blade to slip and loss of
control may result.
When removing the blade from the tool
avoid contact with skin and use proper
protective gloves when grasping the
blade or accessory.
Accessories may be
hot after prolonged use.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
