c)
When battery
pack is not in use, keep H 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 bums or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or bums.

Additional
Specific
Safety
Rules
for
Reciprocating
Saws
•
Hold power
tool by insulated
gripping
surfaces,
when
performing
an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting
a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
•
Use clamps or another practical
way to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or
against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
•
Hold saw firmly with both hands for all cutting operations.
During cutting operations, the blade may suddenly bind in the work
and may cause the saw to kickback towards the operator.
•
Keep hands away from moving parts. Never place your hands
near the cutting area.
•
Use extra caution when cutting overhead and pay particular
attention to overhead wires which may be hidden from view.
Anticipate the path of falling branches and debris ahead of time.
•
Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration
caused by the operating action of this tool may cause permanent
injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to provide extra
cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily time of use.
_WARNING:
ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are
NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation
is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI $12.6 ($3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA
respiratory protection.
_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.
• Avoid prolonged
contact
with dust from power
sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities.
Wear protective
clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on
the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
_WARNING:
Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust,
which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury.
