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.
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.
Never leave the switch in "ON" position.
Before plugging the tool in, check that the
switches are "OFF". Accidental start-ups
could cause injury.
Keep hands away from cutting area. Do
not reach under the material being cut.
The proximity of the blade to your hand may
be hidden from your sight.
Keep hands away from the space between
the gear housing and saw blade holder.
The reciprocating blade holder can pinch
your fingers.
Safety Rules for Coping Saw
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.
Use only Dremel Moto-Saw blades. Use
the right blade size, style and cutting
speed for the material and the type of cut.
Using the proper blade minimizes the risk of
breakage.
Do not use dull or damaged blades. Dull
blades can bend and break easily potentially
striking the operator.
Before starting to cut, turn tool "ON" and
allow the blade to come to full speed. Tool
can chatter or vibrate if blade speed is too
slow at beginning of cut and may cause a
loss of control.
Make certain all adjusting screws and the
blade holder are tight before making a
cut. Loose adjusting screws and holders can
cause the tool or blade to slip and loss of
control may result.
When removing the blade from the tool
avoid contact with skin and use proper
protective gloves when grasping the
blade or accessory. Accessories may be
hot after prolonged use and present a burn
hazard.
