Tool Use And Care; Attaching The Blade - Skil 4395 Instructions

• Avoid accidental starting. Don't carry plugged in tool with finger on
switch. Be sure switch is OFF when plugged in.
• Don't overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Before connecting the tool to power source, be sure voltage supplied is
the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. If in doubt, DO
NOT plug in tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified
for the tool can result in serious injury to the user—as well as damage to the
tool. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is
harmful to the motor.

TOOL USE AND CARE

• Don't force tool. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
• Use the right tool. Don't use tool for purpose not intended. For example,
don't use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
• Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than using your
hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
• Don't abuse cord. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from spinning blade, bits or any other moving part
while the tool is in use.
• Outdoor use extension cords. When tool is used outdoors, use only
extension cords suitable for use outdoors.
• Disconnect tools when not in use; before servicing; when changing blades,
bits, cutters, etc.
• Do not alter or misuse tool. These tools are precision built. Any alteration
or modification not specified may result in a dangerous condition.
• Check damaged parts. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other pat that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binging of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
