4. Tool Use and Care
(1) Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead
to loss of control.
(2) 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.
(3) 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.
(4) 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
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
(5) Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
(6) 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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
(7) 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.
(8) 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.
(9) 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.
5. Service
(1) Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
(2) When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow Maintenance Instruction may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
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.
