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. It
allows for work to shift, causes binding of the tool and
loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
•
application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed. Do not use the
tool for purpose not intended.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it "oN" or
•
"off". Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before
•
making any adjustments or changing accessories.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges, are less likely
to bind and easier to control. When mounting saw blades
be certain that the arrow on the blade matches the
direction of the arrow marked on the tool and that the
teeth are also pointing in the same direction.
inspect guards before using a tool. Keep guards in
•
place. check moving parts for binding or any other
condition that may affect the normal operation or
safety features of the tool. if damaged, have tool
serviced before using the tool. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alteration or
•
modification is a misuse and may result in serious
personal injury.
• The use of any other accessories not specified in this
manual may create a hazard. Accessories that may be
suitable for one type of tool, may become hazardous
when used on an inappropriate tool.
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel may result in misplacing internal
wires and components which could cause serious
hazard.
• 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 hazard.
