ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 

• 

Hold  power  tool  by  insulated  gripping  surfaces,  when 
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may 
contact  hidden  wiring. 

Cutting  accessory  contacting  a  “live” 

wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and 
could give the operator an electric shock. 

• 

Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support 
the work piece to a stable platform. 

Holding the work by hand 

or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of 
control. 

• 

Hold saw firmly with both hands for all cutting operations. 

During cutting operations, the blade may suddenly bind in the 
work and may cause the saw to kickback towards the operator. 

• 

Keep hands away from moving parts. 

Never place your hands 

near the cutting area. 

• 

Use  extra  caution  when  cutting  overhead  and  pay 
particular  attention  to  overhead  wires  which  may  be 
hidden from view. 

Anticipate the path of falling branches and 

debris ahead of time. 

• 

Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. 

Vibration 

caused by the operating action of this tool may cause permanent 
injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to provide extra 
cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily time of use.
