POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS WORK AREA 1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents. 2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE 1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct accessories for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate which it was designed for. 2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Always use blades with the correct size and shape of arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control. g. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
CIRCULAR SAW BLADE SAFETY WARNINGS a. The maximum speed marked on the tool shall not exceed the maximum speed marked on the blade. b.
