4.Tool Use and Care

(1)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 and may lead to lose of control.

(2)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.

(3)Do not use 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 battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

(5)Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hand of untrained users.

(6)When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.

(7)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.

(8)Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

(9)Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.

5.Service

(1)Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

(2)When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts of failure to follow Maintenance Instruction may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1.Hold tools 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.

2.Never touch moving parts.

Never place your hands, fingers or other body parts near the tool’s moving parts.

3.Never operate without all guards in place.

Never operate this tool without all guards or safety features in place and in proper working order. If maintenance or servicing requires the removal of a guard or safety feature, be sure to replace the guard or safety feature before resuming operation of the tool.

4.Use right tool.

Don’t force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool.

Don’t use tool for purpose not intended —for example— don’t use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
