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.

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.

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.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to bind and are easier to

control.

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.

Battery tool use and care

Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer.

A charger that is

suitable for one type of battery pack may

create a risk of fire when used with another

battery pack.

Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs.

Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and

fire.

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 burns or a fire.

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the

battery may cause irritation or burns.

Service

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.

Spiral Saw™ Safety Rules

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.

Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed

metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the

operator.

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.
If cutting into existing walls or other blind

areas where electrical wiring may exist is

unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit

breakers feeding this worksite.

Always make sure the work surface is free
from nails and other foreign objects.

Cutting into a nail can cause the bit and the

tool to jump and damage the bit.

Never hold the workpiece in one hand and
the tool in the other hand when in use.
Never place hands near or below cutting
surface.

Clamping the material and guiding

the tool with both hands is safer.

Never lay workpiece on top of hard
surfaces, like concrete, stone, etc...

Protruding cutting bit may cause tool to jump.

Always wear safety goggles and dust
mask. Use only in well ventilated area.

Using personal safety devices and working in

safe environment reduces risk of injury.

After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut and
