Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by your hand
or against the body leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Always check the work area for hidden wires
before use. Shut off all live electric circuits
to any areas where cut outs will be made to
reduce the risk of explosion, electric shock and
property damage.
Always use the depth guide to avoid
plunging too deep through the material.
Plunging too deeply could cause contact with
electric wiring.
Check all adjustments are secure before use
to avoid injury.
Use only cutting bits rated for the speed
marked on the tool. Other types could cause
injury, tool damage, or property damage.
This tool is not a drill. Do not use with drill
or screwdriver bits.
Allow the cutting bit to reach full speed
before contacting the workpiece. Contact
with the workpiece during startup can cause the
tool to jump.
Ensure the tool comes to a complete stop
before laying it down. A spinning cutting bit
can grab a surface, causing injury or damage.
Do not touch the bit immediately after use. It
may be hot and could burn skin.
SAFETY RULES FOR CUT OUT TOOL
WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
•
grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints.
–
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
–
other masonry products.
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
–
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
•
depending upon how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals:
Work in a well-ventilated area.
–
Work with approved safety equipment, such
–
as dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
–
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing
and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes or
to lie on the skin may promote absorption of
harmful chemicals.
