General Power Tool Safety
Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
CORDLESS METAL CUTTER
SAFETY WARNINGS
DANGER:
1. Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade.
Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or
motor housing. If both hands are holding the tool,
they cannot be cut by blade.
2. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard
cannot protect you from the blade below the
workpiece.
3. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth
should be visible below the workpiece.
4. Never hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable
platform. It is important to support the work properly

to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of

control.
5. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live"
wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power
GEA010-1
tool "live" and shock the operator.
6. When ripping always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and
reduces the chance for blade binding.
7. Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the tool
will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
8. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or
bolts. The blade washers and bolt were specially
designed for your tool, for optimum performance and
GEB058-1
safety of operation.
9. Causes and operator prevention of kickback;
- Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound
or misaligned blade, causing an uncontrolled tool to
lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator.
- When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the
kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor
reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the
operator.
- If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the
cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig
into the top surface of the workpiece causing the
blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward
the operator.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
