b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Anypower
tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) 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
oper=
ation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control
g) 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.
5) SERVICE
a) 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.
SPECIFIC
SAFETY
RULES
• 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 "five" 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.
• Keep hands away from cutting
area. Never reach underneath the material for any reason.
Hold front of saw by grasping the contoured gripping area. Do not insert fingers or thumb
into the vicinity of the reciprocating blade and blade clamp. Do not stabilize the saw by
gripping the shoe.
• Keep blades sharp. Dull blades may cause the saw to swerve or staff under pressure.
• When cutting
pipe or conduit ensure that they are free from water, electrical
wiring,etc.
• Allow the motor to come to a complete
stop before withdrawing
the blade from the
kerf (the slot created by cutting).
A moving blade may impact the workpiece causing a
broken blade, workpiece damage or loss of control and possible personal injury.
• Never hold work in your hand, lap or against parts of your body when sawing. The saw
may slip and the blade could contact the body causing injury.
• Keep handles dry, clean, free from oil and grease. This will enable better control of the tool
• Clean out your tool often, especially
after heavy use. Dust andgrit containing metal
particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create an electric shock hazard.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration causedby the operating action
of this tool may cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to provide
extra cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily time of use.
Use extra caution when cutting
overhead
and pay particular attention
to overhead
wires which may be hidden from view. Anticipate the path of falling branches and
debris ahead of time.
Z_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 and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those 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, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
Z_WARNING:
Use of this tool can generate
and/or disperse
dust, which
may cause
serious
and permanent respiratory
or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA
approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body.
Z_CAUTION:
Wear appropriate
hearing protection during
use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
Z_WARNING:
ALWAYS
use safety glasses.
Everyday
eye glasses are NOT safety
glasses.
Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation
is dusty.
ALWAYS
WEAR CERTIFIED
SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection
(CAN/CSA Z94.3)
• ANSI S12.6 ($3.19) hearing protection
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA
respiratory protection
