KICKBACK PRECAUTIONS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged cutting accessory caught
on the material. The material can be ejected and inflict a serious injury on the
user or a bystander. Kickback can also damage the tool or workpiece.
Kickback can be avoided by taking proper precautions:
1. Maintain a firm grip on the material and position your body and arms to
allow you to resist a kickback. Kickback can propel the material in the
direction of the cutting accessory's rotation.
2. Use special care when working on corners, sharp edges or flexible
material. These workpieces have a tendency to snag the cutting accessory.
3. Only use cutting accessories designed for the tool.
4. Clamp the workpiece to prevent rotation when the drill bit cuts into
the material.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that the plug is
connected to a properly grounded receptacle.
1. Disconnect tool from power source before cleaning, servicing, changing
parts/accessories or when not in use.
2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical
equipment. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces. There is an
increased chance of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3. Do not expose tool to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not disconnect the power cord in place of using the ON/OFF switch on
the tool. This will prevent an accidental startup when the power cord is
plugged into the power supply.
a. In the event of a power failure, turn off the machine as soon as the
power is interrupted. The possibility of accidental injury could occur if
the power returns and the unit is not switched off.
5. Do not alter any parts of the tool or accessories. All parts and accessories are
designed with built-in safety features that may be compromised if altered.
