Tool Use and Care

•Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable. It allows for work to shift, causes binding of the tool and loss of control.

•Do not force 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. Do not use the tool for purpose not intended.

•Do not use tool if switch does not turn it “oN” or “off”. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous.

•Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments or changing accessories.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

•Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges, are less likely to bind and easier to control. When mounting saw blades be certain that the arrow on the blade matches the direction of the arrow marked on the tool and that the teeth are also pointing in the same direction.

•inspect guards before using a tool. Keep guards in place. check moving parts for binding or any other condition that may affect the normal operation or safety features of the tool. if damaged, have tool serviced before using the tool. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
