Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
“ON” or “OFF”. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools,
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control. Any alteration or
modification is a misuse and may result in a
dangerous condition.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools. Develop a
periodic maintenance schedule for your tool.
Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for
your model. Accessories that may be suitable
for one tool, may become hazardous when
used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury. For
example: internal wires may be misplaced or
pinched, safety guard return springs may be
improperly mounted.
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury. Certain cleaning
agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,
ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
Safety Rules for Finecut
™
Power Handsaw
and Miter Table Attachment
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool "live"
and shock the operator. Do not drill, fasten or
break into existing walls or other blind areas
where electrical wiring may exist. If this
situation is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses
or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.
Never leave the trigger locked "ON".
Before plugging the tool in, check that the
trigger lock is "OFF". Accidental start-ups
could cause injury.
Be aware of the location and setting of the
switch "Lock-ON" feature. If the switch is
locked "ON" during the use, be ready for
emergency situations to switch it "OFF", by
striking and releasing the back end of the slide
switch.
Keep hands away from cutting area. Do
not reach under or near the saw blade. The
proximity of the blade to your hand may be
hidden from your sight.
Keep hands from between the housing and
saw blade. The reciprocating blade can pinch
your fingers.
Do not use dull or damaged blades. Protect
saw teeth between uses with blade sleeve.
Bent blade can break easily or cause kickback.
Check the blade for excessive play
between the blade, the guide and the tool.
Replace the blade if excessive play cannot
be eliminated. Under normal operation,
vibration can loosen the fit of the saw blade to
the guide.
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.
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.
Make certain all adjusting screws and the
blade guide are secure before making a
cut. Loose adjusting screws and guide can
cause the tool or blade to slip and loss of
control may result.
