5. Battery tool use and care
a. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
b. 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.
c. Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
d. 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.
e. 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.
6. 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.
Specific safety instructions for Saws.
Hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the
operator.
X
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by
hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead
to loss of control.
X
Keep hands away from the cutting area. Never reach
underneath the material for any reason. Hold front of saw
by grasping the contoured gripping area. Do not insert
fingers or thumb into the vicinity of the reciprocating blade
and blade clamp. Do not stabilize the saw by gripping the
shoe.
X
Keep blades sharp. Dull or damaged blades may cause the
saw to swerve or stall under pressure. Always use the
appropriate type of saw blade for the workpiece material
and type of cut.
X
When cutting pipe or conduit ensure that they are free from
water, electrical wiring, etc.
X
Do not touch the workpiece or the blade immediately after
operating the tool. They can become very hot.
X
Do not use in rain or wet conditions.
X
Be aware of hidden hazards, before drilling into walls,
floors or ceilings, check for the location of wiring and pipes.
X
The blade will continue to move after releasing the switch.
Always switch the tool off and wait for the saw blade to
come to a complete standstill before putting the tool down.
Warning! Contact with or inhalation of dusts arising from
cutting applications may endanger the health of the operator
and possible bystanders. Wear a dust mask specifically
designed for protection against dust and fumes and ensure that
persons within or entering the work area are also protected.
