●
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.
●
Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer
for your model.
Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool may become
hazardous when used with another
tool.
●
Keep the tool and its handle dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum based products or
any strong solvents to clean your tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk
of fire, loss of control and deterioration
of the plastic components of the tool.
SERVICE
●
Tool service must be performed
only by qualified personnel.
Service
or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in
risk of injury.
●
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 electric shock or injury.
●
Hold tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an
operation where the saw blade may
contact hidden wiring or its own
cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool
“live” and shock the operator.
●
Always hold the tool with two
hands.
Attempting to control the tool
with only one hand is dangerous. It
could result in loss of control and
serious injury.
●
Always make sure the work surface
is free from nails and other foreign
objects.
Cutting into a nail can cause
the blade and the tool to jump and
damage the blade.
●
Never hold the workpiece in one
hand and the tool in the other hand
when sawing. Never place the
hands near or below the cutting
surface.
Clamp the workpiece and
guide the tool with both hands.
●
Never lay the workpiece on hard
surfaces like concrete, stone, etc.
The protruding blade may cause tool
to jump.
●
Always wear safety goggles,
hearing protection and dust mask.
Use only in well ventilated areas.
Use of personal protective equipment
and working in a safe environment will
reduce the risk of injury.
