90521272 FS18SS Spiral Saw
CAUTION: Burn Hazard. Do not touch the bit or collet nut during or immediately after
cutting material. The bit and collet nut may be hot enough to burn bare skin.
• Do not run tool while carrying at your side. The spinning bit may become
entangled with clothing and injury may occur.
• Always wear eye protection. Dust mask and hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions. Using personal safety devices is recommended. WORK
SAFE.
• Always operate the tool with the depth guide in place. The guide keeps the bit
from plunging too deeply through the material. A minimum of penetration should be
maintained to eliminate the danger of cutting into electric wiring.
• Do not use this tool with drill or screwdriver bits. This tool is not intended to be
used as a drill or screwdriver.
• Be sure your cutting bits are sharp and in good condition. Damaged bits can
cause the tool to jump, injuring the operator.
• Never touch the bit immediately after use. It may be extremely hot.
• Be sure that the motor has stopped completely before you lay the tool down. If
the cutter head is still spinning when the tool is laid down, it could cause injury or
damage.
• Be sure that the bit is clear of the workpiece before starting motor. If the bit is in
contact with the workpiece when the motor starts it could make the tool jump, causing
damage or injury.
• If your tool fails to function properly, take it to an authorized service center.
There are no user serviceable parts inside this tool and it should only be opened by
trained service personnel.
• 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 loss of control.
• When working on a ladder or on scaffolding be sure to lay the tool down on its
side when not in use. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright but
may be easily knocked over.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety
glasses. Also use face or dust mask if drilling operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA respiratory protection.
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 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.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse 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.
