8.
Check for the proper clearance beneath the
workpiece before cutting so that the bit will not
strike a hard surface such as the floor,
workbench, etc.
9.
Do not cut metal objects such as nails and
screws. Inspect for and remove all nails, screws
and other foreign material from the workpiece
before operation.
10. Check that the bit is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
Always hold the tool with two hands while
switching the tool on. The motor torque can
cause the tool to turn.
11. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let
it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling
that could indicate improperly installed bit.
12. Make sure that the shaft lock is released before
the switch is turned on.
13. Always use with the shoe securely attached to
the tool and positioned flat and firmly against
the workpiece.
14. Hold the tool firmly.
15. Do not perform any operation using your hands
to support or guide the workpiece.
16. Keep hands away from moving parts.
17. Do not use this tool for drilling.
18. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
19. Always switch off and wait for the bit to come to
a complete stop before removing the bit from
workpiece.
20. Do
not
touch
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
21. Draw attention to the need to use cutters of the
correct shank diameter and which are suitable
for the speed of the tool.
