SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3. Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to
a stable platform. Holding the work by
your hand or against the body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
4. The saw blade must be securely
locked in its holder. Check that it has
been securely seated before use.
5. Make certain that all adjusting levers
and the blade holder are tight before
making a cut. Loose adjusting levers
and holders can cause the tool or blade
to slip; loss of control may result.
6. Check that the switch is “off” before
attaching a battery. Accidental starting
could cause injury.
7. Secure material before cutting. Never
hold the workpiece in your hand or
across your legs. Small or thin material
may flex or vibrate with the blade,
causing loss of control.
8. Never touch the saw blade immediately
after use. It may be hot after prolonged
use.
9. Always wear safety goggles or eye
protection when using this tool. Use
a dust mask or respirator if cutting
generates a great amount of dust.
10. Keep hands away from the cutting
area. Do not reach under the material
being cut. The proximity of the blade to
your hand is hidden from your sight.
11. Do not use dull or damaged saw blades
and accessories.
12. When using the hook always be aware
that the blade is exposed. Always hang
the tool in an area where yourself and
bystanders can not accidently make
contact with the blade.
WARNING:
Some dust created by
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.
