TOOL USE AND CARE SAFETY

!WARNING: BE SURE to read and understand all instructions before operating this tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

1.ALWAYS use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

2.DO NOT force the tool. Use the correct tool and blade for your application. The correct tool and accessory will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

3.DO NOT use the tool if switch does not turn it “On” or “Off”. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

4.DISCONNECT the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

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

6.MAINTAIN tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7.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.

8.USE ONLY accessories that are recommended for this tool. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

!WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug when installing or removing the plug from the outlet.

4. DRESS properly. DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry. Pull back long hair. Keep your

hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, or long hair can be

caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided.

5. AVOID accidental starting. Be sure switch is in “OFF” position before plugging in.

DO NOT carry tools with your finger on the switch. Carrying tools with your finger on the

switch or plugging in tools that have the switch in the “ON” position invites accidents.

6. REMOVE adjusting keys or blade wrenches before turning the tool “ON”. A wrench that

is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

7. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and

balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

8. ALWAYS SECURE YOUR WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical.

It is safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.
