General Power Tool Safety Warnings
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.
a. Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an opera-
tion where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring. Cutting acces-
Use clamps or another practical way to se-
cure and support the workpiece to a sta-
ble platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Do not drill, fasten or break into existing
walls or other blind areas where electrical
wiring may exist. If this situation is unavoid-
able, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers
feeding this worksite.
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 de-
vice may cause electrocution.
Always hold the tool firmly with both hands
for maximum control. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables bet-
ter control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Keep hands away from cutting area. Do
not reach under the material being cut. The
proximity of the blade to your hand is hid-
den from your sight.
Do not use dull or damaged blades. Bent
blade can break easily or cause kickback.

Additional Safety Warnings

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
b. Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only
be performed by the manufacturer or
authorized service providers.
sory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
Exercise extreme caution when handling
the accessories. The accessories are very
sharp.
Wear protective gloves when changing cut-
ting accessories. Accessories become hot
after prolonged usage.
Before scraping, check workpiece for nails.
If there are nails, either remove them or set
them well below intended finished surface.
Striking a nail with accessory edge could
cause the tool to jump.
Do not wet sand with this tool. Liquids en-
tering the motor housing can create an elec-
trical shock hazard.
Never work in area which is soaked with a
liquid, such as a solvent or water, or damp-
ened such as newly applied wallpaper.
There is an electrical shock hazard when
working in such conditions with a power
tool and heating of the liquid caused by
scraping action may cause harmful vapors to
be emitted from workpiece.
Always wear eye protection and a dust
mask for dusty applications and when
sanding overhead. Sanding particles can
be absorbed by your eyes and inhaled easily
and may cause health complications.
Use special precautions when sanding
chemically pressure treated lumber, paint
that may be lead based, or any other ma-
