job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
"ON" or "OFF". Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools,
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control. Any alteration or
modification is a misuse and may result in a
dangerous condition.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced
before using. Many accidents
are
caused by poorly maintained
tools. Develop a
periodic maintenance
schedule for your tool.
Use only accessories
that are recom-
mended by the manufacturer
for your
model. Accessories
that may be suitable for
one tool, may become hazardous
when used
on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed
only by
qualified repair personnel.
Service or
maintenance
performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury. For
example:
internal wires may be misplaced
or
pinched, safety guard return springs may be
improperly
mounted.
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement
parts. Follow instructions
in
the Maintenance
section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow
Maintenance
Instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury. Certain cleaning
agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,
ammonia, etc. may damage
plastic parts.
Hold tool by insulated
gripping
surfaces
when performing
an operation
where the
cutting
tool may contact
hidden wiring or
its own cord.
Contact
with a "live" wire will
make exposed
metal parts of the tool "live"
and shock the operator.
If cutting
into existing
walls or other blind areas where electrical
wiring may exist is unavoidable,
disconnect
all fuses or circuit breakers
feeding this
worksite.
Always
make sure the work surface is free
from
nails and other foreign objects.
Cutting
into a nail can cause the bit and the
tool to jump and damage
the bit.
Never hold the workpiece
in one hand and
the tool in the other hand when in use.
Never place hands near or below cutting
surface.
Clamping
the material and guiding
the tool with both hands is safer.
Never lay workpiece on top of hard
surfaces, like concrete, stone, etc...
Protruding cutting bit may cause tool to jump.
Always wear safety goggles and dust
mask. Use only in well ventilated area.
Using personal safety devices and working in
safe environment reduces risk of injury.
After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut and
any other adjustment devices are
securely tightened. Loose adjustment
device can unexpectedly shift, causing loss
of control, loose rotating components will be
violently thrown.
Never start the tool when the bit is
engaged in the material. The bit cutting
edge may grab the material causing loss of
control of the cutter.
