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.
g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
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
tool's 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, 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.
SPecIfIc SAfeTy RuleS
• use auxiliary handle(s) if supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
• use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the work piece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
• keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from air vents. Air vents often cover moving
parts in which these items can be caught.
WARNING:
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of california
to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
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.
• Wear appropriate hearing protection
during use. Under some conditions and
duration of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.
WARNING:
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.
WARNING:
glasses. everyday eye glasses are NoT
safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if cutting operation is dusty.
