SPIN SAW SAFETY
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by qualified personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in risk of injury.
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.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
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.
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 the hands near or below the cutting surface. Clamping the material and guiding the tool with both hands is much safer.
Never lay workpiece on 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 a safe environment reduces risk of injury.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any power tool can throw foreign objects into your eyes which could cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI safety standard Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant
lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses. Safety goggles are available at most hardware stores.
Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could cause serious injury when they break.
After changing the bits or making adjustments, make sure the collet nut and any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment devices will be
violently thrown.
Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits must be handled with care. Damaged bits can snap during use. Dull bits require more force to push the tool, possibly causing the bit to break.
Never touch the bit during or immediately after use.
After use the bit is too hot to be touched by bare hands.
