TOOL USE AND CARE
-Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workplace to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
-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.
-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.
-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 pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
-Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are danger-
ous in the hands of untrained users.
-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 connec-
tion from one terminal to another.
-Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
-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.
-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.
-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.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES:
1. Hold tools 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.
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.
5. Never use a power tool for applications other than those specified.
Never use a power tool for applications other than those specified in the
Instruction Manual.
6. Handle tool correctly.
Operate the tool according to the instructions provided herein. Do not drop or
throw the tool. Never allow the tool to be operated by children, individuals
unfamiliar with its operation or unauthorized personnel.
