Always operate the tool with the depth guide in
•
place. The guide keeps the bit from plunging too deeply
through the material. A minimum of penetration should
be maintained to eliminate the danger of cutting into
electric wiring.
Do not use this tool with drill, screwdriver, or
•
router bits. This tool is not intended to be used as a drill,
screwdriver, or router.
Be sure your cutting bits are sharp and in good
•
condition. Damaged bits can cause the tool to jump,
injuring the operator.
Never touch the bit immediately after use. It may be
•
extremely hot.
Always follow the bit manufacturer's speed
•
recommendations as some bit designs require
specific speeds for safety or performance. If you are
unsure of the proper speed or are experiencing any type of
problem, contact the bit manufacturer.
Be sure that the motor has stopped completely
•
before you lay the tool down. If the cutter head is still
spinning when the tool is layed down, it could cause injury
or damage.
Be sure that the bit is clear of the workpiece before
•
starting motor. If the bit is in contact with the workpiece
when the motor starts it could make the tool jump, causing
damage or injury.
If your tool fails to function properly, take it to an
•
authorized service center. There are no user serviceable
parts inside this tool and it should only be opened by
trained service personnel.
Additional Safety Information
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of
it. Damage or personal injury could result.
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 S12.6 (S3.19) 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 dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.

•
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth, eyes, or lie on the skin may promote absorption of
harmful chemicals. Direct particles away from face and body.
Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to remove
•
the vast majority of static and airborne dust. Failure
to remove static and airborne dust could contaminate the
working environment or pose an increased health risk to
the operator and those in close proximity.
Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
•
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its
side on a stable surface where it will not cause
a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large
battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack
but may be easily knocked over.
