General Safety Rules
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool or
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instruction manual.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORK AREA SAFETY |
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. |
b) 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. |
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can |
cause you to lose control |
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY |
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do |
not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs |
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock |
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, |
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is |
earthed or grounded. |
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool |
will increase the risk of electric shock |
b)Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
c)Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the
d)Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e)Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f)Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided.
g)If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce
4)POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a)Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b)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.
c)Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d)Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e)Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f)Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g)Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5)SERVICE
a)Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b)If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
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.
•Keep hands away from cutting area. Never reach underneath the material for any reason. Hold front of saw by grasping the contoured gripping area. Do not insert fingers or thumb into the vicinity of the reciprocating blade and blade clamp. Do not stabilize the saw by gripping the shoe.
•Keep blades sharp. Dull blades may cause the saw to swerve or stall under pressure.
•Use extra caution when cutting overhead and pay particular attention to overhead wires which may be hidden from view. Anticipate the path of falling branches and debris ahead of time.
•When cutting pipe or conduit ensure that they are free from water, electrical wiring, etc.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•lead from
•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
•arsenic and chromium from
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
•Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing protection during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging |
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. |
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. Replace or repair |
damaged cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only |
extension cords that have |
accept the tool’s plug. |
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for |
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. |
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current |
your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in |
loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use |
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heav- |
ier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord. |
