Electrical Safety
ouble Insulated tools are equipped with a
olarized plug (one blade is wider than the
her.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet
nly one way. If the plug does not fit fully in
e outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
, contact a qualified electrician to install a
olarized outlet. Do not change the plug in
ny way. Double Insulation eliminates the
eed for the three wire grounded power cord and
ounded power supply system. Before plugging
the tool, be certain the outlet voltage supplied
within 10% of the voltage marked on the name-
ate. Do not use "AC only" rated tools with a DC
ower supply.
void body contact with grounded surfaces

ors. There is an increased risk of electric shock
your body is grounded. If operating the power
ol in damp locations is unavoidable, a Ground
ault Circuit Interrupter must be used to supply
e power to your tool. Electrician's rubber gloves
nd footwear will further enhance your personal
afety.
on't expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
ons. Water entering a power tool will increase
e risk of electric shock.
o not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to
arry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet.

oving parts. Replace damaged cords imme-
ately. Damaged cords increase the risk of elec-
c shock.
hen operating a power tool outside, use an
utdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or
W." These cords are rated for outdoor use and
duce the risk of electric shock. Refer to
Recommended sizes of Extension Cords" in the
ccessory section of this manual.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use tool while tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught
in moving parts. Keep handles dry, clean and free
from oil and grease.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is
"OFF" before plugging in. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that
have the switch "ON" invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool "ON". A wrench or a key that is
left attached to a rotating part of the tool may
result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye pro-
tection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection must be used for appro-
priate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
Use clamps or other practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it "ON"
or "OFF". Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control. Any alteration or modification is
a misuse and may result in a dangerous condi-
tion.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condi-
tion that may affect the tools operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
A
maintained tools. Develop a periodic mainte-
nance schedule for your tool.
Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool, may become haz-
ardous when used on another tool.
Spiral Saw
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cut-
ting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock
the operator. If cutting into existing walls or other
blind areas where electrical wiring may exist is
unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit break-
ers feeding this worksite.
Always make sure the work surface is free
from nails and other foreign objects. Cutting
into a nail can cause the Zip® Bit and the tool to
jump and damage the Zip Bit.
Never hold the workpiece in one hand and the
tool in the other hand when in use. Never
place hands near or below cutting surface.
Clamping the material and guiding the tool with
both hands is safer.
Never lay workpiece on top of hard surfaces,
like concrete, stone, etc. Protruding cutting Zip
Bit may cause tool to jump.
Always wear safety goggles and dust mask.
Use only in well ventilated area. Using per-
sonal safety devices and working in safe environ-
ment reduces risk of injury.
After changing the Zip Bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut and any
other adjustment devices are securely tight-
ened. Loose adjustment devices can unexpect-
edly shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating
components will be violently thrown.
Never start the tool when the Zip Bit is
engaged in the material. The Zip Bit cutting
edge may grab the material causing loss of con-
trol of the cutter. Always hold the tool with two
hands during start-up. The reaction torque of
the motor can cause the tool to twist.
The direction of feeding the Zip Bit into the
material is very important and it relates to the
direction of Zip Bit rotation. Most materials
should be cut in a clockwise direction. An excep-
Service
Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or main-
tenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury. For example:
internal wires may be misplaced or pinched,
safety guard return springs may be improperly
mounted.
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,
ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.

TM
tion is when cutting around an outlet box in dry-
wall, which should be cut counter-clockwise.
Steering the tool in the wrong direction, causes
the cutting edge of the Zip Bit to climb out of the
work and pull the tool in the direction of the feed.
Always use the tool with the depth guide
securely attached and positioned flat against
material being cut. The guide securely posi-
tioned on the material improves the stability and
control of your tool.
Never use dull or damaged Zip Bits. Sharp Zip
Bits must be handled with care. Damaged Zip
Bits can snap during use. Dull Zip Bits require
more force to push the tool, possibly causing the
Zip Bit to break.
Never touch the Zip Bit during or immediately
after the use. After use the Zip Bit is too hot to
be touched by bare hands.
Never lay the tool down until the motor has
come to a complete standstill. The spinning
Zip Bit can grab the surface and pull the tool out
of your control.
Do not use the tool for drilling purposes. This
tool is not intended to be used with drill Zip Bits.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activi-
ties contains chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead-based paints.
•
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products.
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depend-
ing on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
