ly to minimize body exposure, blade
binding, or loss of control.
tool use and care
Use clamps or another practical a.
way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against
the body is unstable and is able to
lead to loss of control.
do not force the tool.
b. Use the
correct tool for the application. The
correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which the tool is
designed.
do not use the tool if the switch
c.
does not turn the tool on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
disconnect the tool from the air
d.
source before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool unintentionally. Turn
off and detach the air supply, safely
discharge any residual air pressure,
and release the throttle and/or turn
the switch to its off position before
leaving the work area.
Store the tool when it is idle out of
e.
reach of children and other un-
trained persons. A tool is dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
maintain the tool with care.
f. Keep a
cutting tool sharp and clean. A prop-
erly maintained tool, with sharp cut-
ting edges reduces the risk of binding
and is easier to control.
Check for misalignment or bind- g.
ing of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that
affects the tool’s operation. If dam-
aged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained tools. There is a
risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.
use only accessories that are
h.
identified by the manufacturer for
the specific tool model. Use of an
accessory not intended for use with
the specific tool model, increases the
risk of injury to persons.
always use blades with correct
i.
size and shape (diamond vs.
round) arbor holes. Blades that do
not match the mounting hardware of
the saw will run unpredictably, caus-
ing loss of control.
never use damaged or incorrect
j.
blade washers or bolts. The blade
washers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, to provide
optimum performance and safety of
operation.
when blade is binding, or when
k.
interrupting a cut for any reason,
release the trigger and hold the
saw motionless in the material un-
til the blade comes to a complete
stop. never attempt to remove
the saw from the work or pull the
saw backward while the blade is in
motion or kiCkBaCk may occur.
Investigate and take corrective ac-
tions to eliminate the cause of blade
binding.
