Additional Specific Safety Rules - Porter-Cable 7549 Instruction Manual

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1) Hold power 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" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator.
2) 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.
3) Keep blades sharp. Sharp blades will do the job better and safer.
4) Keep hands away from cutting area. To avoid injury when sawing never
reach underneath or behind the material being cut for any reason.
5) When you have finished a cut be careful not to come into contact with
the blade. Turn off the motor immediately to avoid injury.
6)
that there are no foreign objects such as electrical wire, conduit, plumbing
pipes, etc., that may come into contact with the blade.
7) Never hold work in your hand, lap, or against other parts of your body
when sawing. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of injury.
8) Some wood contains preservatives which can be toxic. Take extra care
to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials.
Request and follow any safety information available from your material
supplier.
Exercise extreme caution when blind cutting. Be certain
