Safety Notes
cut material thicker than the capacity stated in the specifica-
tion.
Only use an adapter for using different accessories or blades if
the adapter is specifically designed and approved by the man-
ufacturer of your power tool.
Do not modify accessories or blades so they work with power
tools they were not intended to work with or for uses that they
were never designed for.
Do not use accessories or blades that are damaged, bent,
chipped, cracked, heavily corroded or excessively worn. Such
accessories can break apart in use causing injury to the opera-
tor. Always inspect accessories or blades before use and
discard immediately if not in good condition. Never use blades
that are worn to a dull edge. Always use sharp blades.
Always ensure all accessories or blades are securely attached
to the tool before use and the securing tool is removed prior to
use.
Do not attempt to free a jammed blade or accessory until the
power tool has been disconnected from power.
Inspect the workpiece before use to make sure it is in the
correct condition for the fitted accessory or blade. Remove all
nails, staples and other embedded objects prior to starting
work.
Any freely movable workpieces should be secured with a
clamp or vice before starting work.
Always ensure that the lighting is adequate in the work area.
Never remove your safety goggles or glasses to improve your
view instead increase the level of lighting or move the lighting
so it specifically illuminates the work area correctly.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Be
especially careful when cutting wood and metal. Sparks from
metal cutting are a common cause of wood dust fires.
Never start the power tool while the blade or accessory is in
contact with the workpiece, and always allow the power tool to
reach its full speed before making contact with the workpiece.
