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.
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.
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.
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.
Always unplug the tool from the power
source before changing accessories or
making any adjustments. Accidental start
up may occur causing serious personal
injury.
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.
Safety Rules for Foam Cutters
-3-
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
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.
Service
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.
Always wear proper eye protection and
leather gloves.
Before running a foam cutter, inspect the
right and left blades for wear.
Replace worn blades immediately.
Never start the foam cutter with the blades in
contact with the workpiece.
Do not remove the foam cutter from the
workpiece while the blades are moving.
Never put the foam cutter down until the
motor and blades have come to a complete
standstill.
Never touch the blades during use.
Make sure the material being cut is secured
properly.
