6.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application.
The
correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
3.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
4.
Disconnect battery pack from tool and place the switch in the locked
or OFF position before making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
5.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6.
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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
7.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
8.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained tools.
9.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for
your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk
of injury when used on another tool.
SERVICE
1.
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a
risk of injury.
2.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance Section of this manual.
Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a
risk of shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS
1.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire
will also make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
2.
Be aware
that this tool is always in an operating condition, because it
does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet. Always set the trigger
switch to the locked OFF position when installing or removing the battery pack
or saw blade.
3.
Do not use bits larger
than those recommended (see Maximum
Capacities Chart). Large bits may overload the drill and damage the motor and
gears.
4.
Do not use
if chuck jaws or other parts are cracked or worn.
5.
Verify the drill’s rotation
before starting the drill so it is correct for the
operation being performed.
