CORDLESS METAL CUTTER
SAFETY WARNINGS
Cutting procedures
1. DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area
and the blade. Keep your second hand on
auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands
are holding the tool, they cannot be cut by blade.
2. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard
cannot protect you from the blade below the
workpiece.
3. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth
should be visible below the workpiece.
4. Never hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable
platform. It is important to support the work properly

control.
5. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact
GEA010-1
with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
6. When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and
reduces the chance of blade binding.
7. Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the tool
will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
8. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or
bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially
GEB058-4
designed for your tool, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.
Kickback causes and related warnings
– Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
misaligned blade, causing an uncontrolled tool to lift
up and out of the workpiece toward the operator.
– When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf
closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction
drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator.
– If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut,
the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the
top surface of the workpiece causing the blade to
climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the
operator.
