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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
RULES FOR YOUR
RECIPROCATING SAW / JIG
SAW
1. Always wear a dust mask.
2. Hold power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the cutting tool
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.
WARNING: Some dust particles
created by power sawing, contain
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.
• Arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending upon how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter microscopic
particles.
