MACHINE-SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
“live” should shock the operator. If cutting into existing walls or other blind
areas where electrical wiring may exist is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or
circuit breakers feeding this worksite.
Always make sure the work surface is free from nails and other foreign
objects. Cutting into a nail can cause the bit and the tool to jump and damage
the bit.
Never hold the workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand when in
use. Never place hands near or below cutting surface. Clamping the material
and guiding the tool with both hands is safer.
Never lay workpiece on top of hard surfaces, like concrete, stone, ect…
protruding cutting bit may cause tool to jump.
Always wear safety goggles and dust mask. Use only in well ventilated area.
Using personal safety devices and working in safe environment reduces risk of
injury.
After changing the bit or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut
and any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment
device can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control; loss-rotating
components will be violently thrown.
Never start the tool when the bit is engaged in the material. The bit cutting
edge may grab the material causing loss of control of the cutter.
Always hold the tool with two hands during start-up. The reaction torque of the
motor can cause the tool to twist.
The direction of feeding the bit into the material is very important and it
relates to the direction of bit rotation. When viewing the tool form the top, the
