b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
c) Do not position your body in line with the
rotating wheel.
Kickback will propel the tool
in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement
at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory.
Corners, sharp
edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the
rotating accessory and cause loss of control or
kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving
blade, segmented diamond wheel with
a peripheral gap greater than 10 mm
or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
f) Do not “jam” the wheel or apply
excessive pressure. Do not attempt
to make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading
and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the
wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback
or wheel breakage.
g) When wheel is binding or when
interrupting a cut for any reason, switch
off the power tool and hold the power
tool motionless until the wheel comes
to a complete stop. Never attempt to
remove the wheel from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback
may occur.
Investigate and take corrective
action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
h) Do not restart the cutting operation in
the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full
speed and carefully re-enter the cut.
The
wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the
power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
i) Support panels or any oversized
workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel
pinching and kickback. Large workpieces
tend to sag under their own weight. Supports
must be placed under the workpiece near the
line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece
on both sides of the wheel.
j) Use extra caution when making a “pocket
cut” into existing walls or other blind
areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or
water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that
can cause kickback.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
RULES:
1. Always wear a dust mask.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
BATTERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or
battery pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do
not store battery packs haphazardly in
a box or drawer where they may short-
circuit each other or be short-circuited
by conductive materials.
When battery
pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or
fire. Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
d) Do not subject battery pack to
mechanical shock.
e) In the event of battery leaking, do not
allow the liquid to come into contact
with the skin or eyes. If contact has
been made, wash the affected area with
copious amounts of water and seek
medical advice.
f) Seek medical advice immediately if a cell
or battery pack has been swallowed.
g) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
h) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a
clean dry cloth if they become dirty.
i) Battery pack needs to be charged before
use. Always refer to this instruction and
use the correct charging procedure.
j) Do not maintain battery pack on charge
when not in use.
k) After extended periods of storage, it may
be necessary to charge and discharge
the battery pack several times to obtain
maximum performance.
l) Battery pack gives its best performance
when it is operated at normal room
temperature
(20 °C ± 5 °C)
.
m) When disposing of battery packs,
keep battery packs of different
electrochemical systems separate from
each other.
n) Recharge only with the charger specified
by Worx. Do not use any charger other
than that specifically provided for use
with the equipment.
A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may create
a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
o) Do not use any battery pack which is not
designed for use with the equipment.
p) Keep battery pack out of the reach of
children.
q) Retain the original product literature for
future reference.
r) Remove the battery from the equipment
when not in use.
s) Dispose of properly.
t) Do not mix cells of different manufacture,
capacity, size or type within a device.
u) Do not remove battery pack from its
original packaging until required for use.
