Failure to follow the warnings andinstructions may result in electric shock, fire and/orserious injury.Save all warnings andinstructions for future reference.CORDLESS METAL CUTTERSAFETY WARNINGS GEB058-4Cutting procedures1. DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting areaand the blade. Keep your second hand onauxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both handsare holding the tool, they cannot be cut by blade.2. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guardcannot protect you from the blade below theworkpiece.3. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of theworkpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teethshould be visible below the workpiece.4. Never hold piece being cut in your hands oracross your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stableplatform. It is important to support the work properlyto minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss ofcontrol.5. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfacesonly, when performing an operation where thecutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contactwith a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts ofthe power tool “live” and could give the operator anelectric shock.6. When ripping, always use a rip fence or straightedge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut andreduces the chance of blade binding.7. Always use blades with correct size and shape(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Bladesthat do not match the mounting hardware of the toolwill run eccentrically, causing loss of control.8. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers orbolt. The blade washers and bolt were speciallydesigned for your tool, for optimum performance andsafety of operation.Kickback causes and related warnings– Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound ormisaligned blade, causing an uncontrolled tool to liftup and out of the workpiece toward the operator.– When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerfclosing down, the blade stalls and the motor reactiondrives 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 thetop surface of the workpiece causing the blade toclimb out of the kerf and jump back toward theoperator.1.
