Inspect Hole Cutting Tool
WARNING
To prevent serious injury, inspect your Hole Cutting Tool on a regular basis. The following inspection procedures should be performed before each use of the tool:
1.Inspect the power cord and plug for damage. If the grounding prong is missing or the cord or GFCI is damaged, do not use the tool until the cord has been replaced.
2.Make sure the switches turn the tool ON and OFF. If broken, do not use until they are replaced.
3.Inspect the hole cutting tool for any broken, miss- ing, misaligned, or binding parts as well as any conditions, which may affect the safe and normal operation of the tool. If any of these conditions are present, do not use the tool until the problem has been repaired. Do not use dull, bent, or damaged hole saws or arbors.
4.Test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to insure it is operating correctly. When test button is pushed in, the indicator light should go OFF. Reactivate by pushing the reset button in. If the indicator light goes ON, the tool is ready to use. If broken, do not use the tool until it is replaced.
5.Clean any oil, grease, or dirt from the handles. This reduces the risk of injury due to the tool slip- ping from your grip.
6.Use only accessories recommended for your tool. Accessories used for other tools may be hazardous when used on a hole saw and lead to serious injury.
7.Inspect the cutting edges of your hole saws. If nec- essary, replace prior to using in your
