PERSONAL SAFETY

1.Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operat- ing 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.

2.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

3.Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the Cut Off Saw on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.

4.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper foot- ing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

5.Use safety equipment. Always wear ANSI-approved safety impact goggles when using this product. Proper hearing and breathing protection must also be used.

TOOL USE AND CARE

1.Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

2.Do not use the Cut Off Saw if the Engine’s Kill Switch (5D) does not immedi- ately turn it off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with its Kill Switch is danger- ous and must be replaced.

3.Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

4.Maintain tools with care. Properly maintained tools are less likely to malfunction and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired.

5.Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

6.Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.
