a. 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.
b. Use clamps or another practical way
to secure and support the workpiece
to a stable platform. Holding the work
by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
c. Do not drill, fasten or break into
existing walls or other blind areas
where electrical wiring may exist. If
this situation is unavoidable,
disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers
feeding this worksite.
d. Use a metal detector to determine if
there are gas or water pipes hidden in
the work area or call the local utility
company for assistance before
beginning the operation. Striking or
cutting into a gas line will result in
explosion. Water entering an electrical
device may cause electrocution.
e. Always hold the tool firmly with both
hands for maximum control. Keep
proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f. Keep hands away from cutting area.
Do not reach under the material being
cut. The proximity of the blade to your
hand is hidden from your sight.
g. Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Bent blade can break easily or cause
kickback.
h. Exercise extreme caution when
handling the accessories. The
accessories are very sharp.
i. Wear protective gloves when
changing cutting accessories.
Accessories become hot after
prolonged usage.
j. Use thick cushioned gloves and limit
the exposure time by taking frequent
rest periods. Vibration caused by the
tool may be harmful to the hands and
arms.
Safety Rules for Oscillating Tools
c. When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,
or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a
fire.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery, avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
e. Do not use a battery pack or tool that
is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above
265 °F may cause explosion.
g. Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or tool
outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside
the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
6. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
b. Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or
authorized service providers.
