GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION FOR 10-55
LONGNECK JAMB SAW
WARNING
WORK AREA: Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep bystanders,
children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY: Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded
power cord and grounded power supply system.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W" . These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY: Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tools while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or key that is left attached to
a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE: 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.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustment, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
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.
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.
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.
SERVICE: Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
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 instructions may
create a risk of electric shock or injury.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tools 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.
SAFETY SWITCH: For your safety, and to comply with safety regulations, the switch on the
10-55 LONGNECK 6" Jamb Saw DOES NOT LOCK in the "on" position. The motor will turn off when
the switch is released.
