TOOL USE AND CARE SAFETY
1. ALWAYS use clamps or other practical ways 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
2. DO NOT force tool, Use the correct tool and blade for your application. The correct
toot and blade will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed
3. DO NOT use tool if switch does not turn it "On" or "Off", Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired
4. ALWAYS disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally
5_ ALWAYS store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6. ALWAYS maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control
7. ALWAYS 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
