WARNING: Contact with electric or gas lines
can lead to fire, electric shock and explosions.
Penetrating a water line can result in damage
to property and electric shock. Use appropri-
ate detectors to determine if utility lines are
hidden in the work area. Always be extremely
careful when making blind and pocket cuts
where the exit point of the blade or accessory
at the other side of the material cannot be
seen.
WARNING: Asbestos may be in materials and
textured coatings in older properties and
should be treated with extreme caution. If you
suspect or discover asbestos consult your
local health and safety authority immediately
for advice on its removal. It may require the
services of a specialist asbestos removal
company.
WARNING: If a cutting accessory makes con-
tact with a 'live' wire, the exposed metal parts
of the power tool may become 'live' and could
give the operator an electric shock. Hold the
power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces
at all times during use.
WARNING: DO NOT work with damp or wet
materials or accessories that require liquid
coolants. Liquids entering the body of the tool
is an electrical hazard as well as likely to
destroy the tool.
WARNING: The dust produced from working
with some materials can be toxic. Beech, oak,
mahogany and teak natural woods, man-made
composite woods and some surface treat-
ments including paint with lead are toxic. Lead-
based paint is common in buildings pre-1960.
Always wear suitable respiratory protection, for
example, a respirator face mask. Ideally also
use a dust-extraction system or regularly vac-
uum the work area to prevent the build-up of
dust and do a final vacuum after the work is
completed. Most dust is a fire hazard. Over-
head work surfaces have an increased safety
risk for dust.
