Keep hands away from cutting area. Do
not reach under the material being cut.
The proximity of the blade to your hand is
hidden from your sight.
Keep hands from between the gear
housing and saw blade clamp (plunger).
The reciprocating blade clamp (blade
plunger) can pinch your fingers.
Do not use dull or damaged blades. Bent
blades can break easily or cause kickback.
Before starting to cut, turn tool "ON" and
allow the blade to come to full speed. Tool
can chatter or vibrate if blade speed is too
slow at beginning of cut and possibly
kickback.
Always wear safety goggles or eye
protection when using this tool. Use a
dust mask or respirator for applications
which generate dust.
Secure material before cutting. Never
hold it in your hand or across legs. Small
or thin material may flex or vibrate with the
blade, causing loss of control.
GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply. While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard
to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
the tool since internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard return
springs may be improperly mounted.
Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may
damage plastic parts.
Make certain all adjusting screws (knobs)
and the blade clamp are tight before
making a cut. Loose adjusting screws and
clamps can cause the tool or blade to slip and
loss of control may result.
When removing the blade from the tool
avoid contact with skin and use proper
protective gloves when grasping the blade
or accessory. Accessories may be hot after
prolonged use.
When using the utility hook always be
aware that the blade is exposed. Always
hang the tool in area where you or bystanders
cannot accidentally make contact with the
blade.
Ensure the switch is in the OFF position
before inserting battery pack. Inserting the
battery pack into the power tool that has the
switch ON invites accident.
When operating the saw continuously and
for prolonged periods of time, the gearbox
may become hot to touch. To reduce the
risk of injury, wear protective gloves during
saw operation.
