8) Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use
1)
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.
2) 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.
3) 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.
4) 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.
5) Maintain power tools and
accessories. 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.
6) Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
7) 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.
8) Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by
1)
a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Reciprocating saws safety
warnings
Hold the power tool by insulated
1)
gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the accessory
tool may contact hidden wiring.
Accessory tools contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
2) Use clamps or another practical way
to secure and support the workpiece
to a stable platform. Holding the
workpiece by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
3) Keep hands away from the sawing
area. Do not reach underneath the
workpiece. Upon contact with the blade
there is a risk of injury.
4) Only when the power tool is turned
on should the sawing blade be
moved against the workpiece. There is
a risk of kickback if the accessory tool jams in
the workpiece.
