power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and
off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to 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.
jIG SAW 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 workpiece
to a stable platform. Holding the work
by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• 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 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, electri-
cal wiring, etc.
WARNING:
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 (CCA).
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.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust
from power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction
activities. Wear protective clothing
and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into
your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING:
ALWAYS use safety
glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT
safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if
drilling operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
