operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. 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.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and 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.
5. 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.
Additional power tool safety warnings
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the work piece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves
it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Hold saw firmly with both hands for all cutting
operations.
During cutting operations, the blade may
suddenly bind in the work and may cause the saw to
kickback towards the operator.
• Keep hands away from cutting area.
Never reach
underneath the material for any reason. Hold front of
saw by grasping the contoured gripping area. Do not
insert fingers or thumb into the vicinity of the
reciprocating blade and blade clamp. Do not stabilize
the saw by gripping the shoe.
• Keep blades sharp. Dull blades may cause the saw
to swerve or stall under pressure.
• Use extra caution when cutting overhead
and pay
particular attention to overhead wires, gas or water
lines, which may be hidden from view. Anticipate the
path of falling branches and debris ahead of time.
!
• When cutting pipe or conduit
ensure that they are
free from water, electrical wiring, etc.
• Do not touch the work piece or the blade
immediately after operating the tool.
They can
become very hot.
