Keep power cord away from rotating parts, because
the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a “live”
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
“live” and shock the operator.
Always use a vise to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by
your hand, or against the body, or use of an unstable
device may lead to loss of control and personal injury.
Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its 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 safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses do
not have impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety
glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury and blindness.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
Protect your hearing. Always wear hearing protection
during operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have
repaired at your nearest authorized service center.
Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
Check for damaged parts. Do not use if any parts are
damaged. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other
conditions that may affect its operation. Any part that is
damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service center. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is
recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in
length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating.
Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before
using this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
serious personal injury.
