Skil 8601-RL Operating/Safety Instructions Manual page 5

Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a tool. Do not
use a tool while you are tired
or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while
operating a tool may result in
serious personal injury or
incorrect measurement results.
Use safety equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Safety
equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
Use and care
Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will
do the job better and safer.
Do not use the tool if the
switch does not turn it on and
off. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Store idle tool out of the reach
of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the
tool or these instructions to
operate the tool. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition
that may affect the operation. If
damaged, tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained tools.
Use the tool, accessories, etc.,
in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type
of tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of
the tool for operations different
from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
Have your tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using
only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the tool is maintained.
Develop a periodic
maintenance schedule for tool.
When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any
portion of the tool since
internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or may
be improperly mounted.
Certain cleaning agents such as
gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,
ammonia, etc. may damage
plastic parts.
