POWER TOOL PRECAUTIONS
1. DO NOT use any power tool with a malfunctioning power switch or
control. A power tool that fails to respond to the controls is dangerous
and could cause an injury. A qualified technician must repair and
verify the power tool is operating correctly before it can be used.
2. Do not allow the tool to run without load for an extended period of
time, as this will shorten its life.
3. Avoid unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is off when connecting
to the power source.
4. Disconnect the power source before installing or servicing the tool.
5. After making adjustments, make sure that any adjustment devices
are securely tightened.
6. Never force the tool. Forcing the tool will slow it down and could cause
the saw blade to bind or kickback. If your tool runs smoothly under no
load, but does not run smoothly under load, then excessive pressure is
being used. Apply gentle pressure and allow the tool to do the work.
7. Never touch the saw blade or workpiece during or immediately after
use. They may be hot and could inflict a burn injury.
8. Always be aware of the position of your hands relative to the blade.
Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause a
hand to move into the blade.
9. This tool will not stop moving immediately. Do not lay the tool down
or leave it unattended until it has come to a complete stop. A part
that is moving could make the tool jump or grab a surface and pull
the tool out of your control.
KICKBACK PRECAUTIONS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged cutting
accessory caught on the material. The material can be ejected and
inflict a serious injury on the user or a bystander. Kickback can also
damage the tool or workpiece.
Kickback can be avoided by taking proper precautions:
1. Maintain a firm grip on the material and position your body and
arms to allow you to resist a kickback. Kickback can propel the
material in the direction of the cutting accessory’s rotation.
