• The Multi-Saw worklight may produce sufficient heat to melt some
fabrics. To avoid serious personal injury, keep the Multi-Saw worklight free
of contact with other items.
Keep the Multi-Saw dry, clean, and free of oil and grease. Always use
a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products or any strong solvent to clean the Multi-Saw.
Do not expose Multi-Saw to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the
Multi-Saw will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the Multi-Saw in unexpected situations. Do not use
on a ladder or unstable support.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive environments, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions may cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use anyadapter plugswith groundedpower tools. Unmodifiedplugs
and matchingoutletswill reducethe dskof electricshock.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging
the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
PERSONALSAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment,
such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat and hearing protection,
when used for appropriate conditions, will reduce personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Make sure that the switch is in the "OFF" position
before plugging the tool into an electrical outlet or inserting a battery.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or supplying power to
power tools that have the power switch "ON" invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, make sure that these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Use clamps or another practical way to support and secure 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.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid
surface enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Slippery hands
cannot safely control the power tool.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday glasses may have
impact-resistant lenses, but they are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of eye injury.
• Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
• Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of
operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious person injury.
