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 preventive 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 condition.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
Hold tools by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or it
own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and
shock the operator.
Always unplug the tool from the power
source before changing accessories or
making any adjustments. Accidental start
up may occur causing serious personal
injury.
Always wear safety goggles or eye
protection, leather gloves and safety
shoes when using this tool. Shears
produce sharp metal strips or edges that if
contacted can lacerate skin easily.

other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools. Develop
a periodic maintenance schedule for your
tool.
Use only
recommended by the manufacturer for
your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool,
when used on another tool.
Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance 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. Certain cleaning
agents such
tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage
plastic parts.
Safety Rules for Shears
Wear ear protectors when using the tool
for extended periods. Prolonged exposure
to high intensity noise can cause hearing
loss.
Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the
exposure time by taking frequent rest
periods. Vibration caused by shearing
action may be harmful to your hands and
arms.
Do not run the tool while carrying it at
your side. The cutters could become
entangled with clothing and injury may
result.
Always use the supplied hand guard. The
guard helps keep the sharp metal strips or
pieces away from contacting your hand.
