Safety Instructions For Power Tools

5. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS
AWAY. All children and visitors

should be kept a safe distance from
work area.

6. MAKE WORK SHOP CHILD
PROOF with padlocks, master

switches, or by removing starter
keys.

7. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the
job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.

8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool
or attachment to do a job for which it
was not designed.

1. KEEP ALL SAFETY DEVICES IN
PLACE and in working order.

2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Form habit of check-

ing to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool
before turning on.

3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.
Cluttered areas and benches invite
accidents.

4. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power

tools in damp or wet locations, or
where any flammable or noxious
fumes may exist. Keep work area
well lighted.

SAFETY

No list of safety guidelines can be
complete. Every shop environment is
different. Always consider safety
first, as it applies to your individual
working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result
in serious personal injury, damage to
equipment or poor work results.

9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD

for the charger. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition.
Conductor size should be in accor­dance with the chart below. The
amperage rating should be listed on
the motor or tool nameplate. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. Your extension
cord must also contain a ground wire
and plug pin. Always repair or
replace extension cords if they
become damaged.

Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not

wear loose clothing, gloves, neck­ties, rings, bracelets, or other jewel­ry which may get caught in moving
parts. Non-slip footwear is recom­mended. Wear protective hair cover­ing to contain long hair.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.

Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty. Everyday eye­glasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are NOT safety glass­es.

12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a

vise to hold work when practical. It’s
safer than using your hand and frees
both hands to operate tool.

13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE.

Keep tools sharp and clean for best
and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories.

15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before ser-

vicing and changing accessories,
such as blades, bits, cutters, and
the like.

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTEN­TIONAL STARTING. Make sure

switch is in off position before plug­ging in.

17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCES­SORIES. Consult the owner’s man-

ual for recommended accessories.
The use of improper accessories
may cause risk of injury.

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.

Before further use of the tool, a
guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate proper­ly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and
any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY

1. Read all instructions and warn-

ings on the battery and charger
before charging the battery.

2. Charge only using the supplied
charger and battery. Do not use

with other batteries, chargers or trim
saws.

3. Do not expose battery or charger
to wet or rainy conditions.

Moisture greatly increases the risk
of a shock hazard.

4. Do not touch battery poles with
any conductive materials. Touching
any two poles at the same time
causes a short condition and can
cause sparks or electrical shock.

5. Do not store battery with conduc­tive materials. Storing the battery

in a box of screws or nails can
cause shorting across the battery
poles.

6. Do not throw battery in fire.

Combustion of some of the batter­ies’ component materials can cause
toxic fumes and possible explosion.

7. If charger light fails to come on

check the incoming power supply. If
power source is okay, then the fuse
inside the charger needs replace­ment. Charger should be serviced
by a qualified electrical technician
only.

8. Charger plug has a polarized
plug (one prong is wider than the

other). Do not attempt to modify the
plug. Modifying the plug will result
in a safety hazard and will void the
warranty.

9. Charger is designed to operate at
110-120 volts. Never try to plug

into any circuit that is not 110-120
volts. Never modify or change the
plug that is attached to the charger
unit to attempt to plug into 220 volt.
This can cause serious electrical
damage to the unit, possible fire or
explosion.

1. Remove battery pack before
changing blade, adjusting or ser­vicing trim saw.

2. Keep guards in place and main­tained in good working order.

Never secure blade guard open. Do
not use trim saw if blade does not
return so that blade is completely
covered.

3. Keep hands away from cutting

area. Never reach under workpiece

while blade is in motion.

4. Know how to avoid kick-back.

Kick-back occurs when blade
begins to stall causing the saw to be
propelled at the operator.

5. Never saw into a wall or work­piece without first determining if

obstructions exist. Look for nails, plumb­ing and electrical wires before starting.

BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED
OF PROPERLY. Consult your local Yellow Pages

directory under the category “Recycling” to locate a
battery recycler in your area.
