4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application.
The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
i) Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional safety rules for oscillating tools
WARNING:
Know your oscillating tool. Do not plug the tool
into the power source until you have read and understand
this Instruction Manual. Learn the tool’s applications and
limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related
to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
Always wear eye protection. Any power tool can throw
foreign objects into your eyes and cause permanent eye
damage. ALWAYS wear safety goggles (not glasses) that
comply with ANSI safety standard Z87.1. Everyday glasses
have only impact resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety
glasses.
WARNING:
Glasses or goggles not in compliance with
ANSI Z87.1 could cause serious injury when they break.
Always keep hands out of the path of the saw blade. Avoid
awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause
your hand to move into the path of the saw blade.
Secure workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the
workpiece. It is safer than using your hand and it frees both
hands to operate the tool.
Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of
the workpiece to be cut or sanded.
To avoid injury from accidental starting, always remove the
plug from the power source before installing or removing an
accessory.
Never use dull blades in the tool. They will cut slower, leave
rough cuts and break easily due to added pressure and
excessive heat. They will also overload the motor and cause
premature failure of the tool.
