situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARN NG: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. oose clothes, jewelry or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power toolʼs
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that
is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
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. iquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
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.

Specific Safety Rules
•Disconnect power before using tool near live wires or where there may be
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.” Always
check for hidden wiring, gas lines, or other utilities before performing any material
cutting or removal operations with the tool.
•Hol power tool by insulate gripping surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hi en 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.
•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.
•Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down.An exposed cutter may
engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused by the operating
action of this tool may cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves
to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily time of use.
• 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.
• Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the tool reach full
speed and carefully re-enter the cut.
• Do not “jam” the cut-off saw blade or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt
to make an excessive depth of cut.
• Keep your hands away from cutting area. Do not reach under the material being
cut.
• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Bent blade can break easily or cause
kickback. Exercise extreme caution when handling the accessories. The accessories
are very sharp. Wear protective gloves when changing cutting 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 entering the motor housing are an
electrical shock hazard.
• Never work in area which is soaked with a liquid, such as a solvent or water,
or dampened 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.
• Do not use sandpaper intended for larger sanding pads. Larger sandpaper will
extend beyond the sanding pad causing snagging, tearing of the paper or kick-back.
Extra paper extending beyond the sanding pad can also cause serious lacerations.
WARN NG: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety
glasses. Also use face or dust mask. A WAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CPA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NOSH/OSHA respiratory protection.
WARN NG: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.

5
•Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash
exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARN NG: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause
serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NOSH/OSHA approved
respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face
and body.
WARN NG: Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms
to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise
from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
Precautions To Take When Sanding Paint
1. Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of
controlling the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children
and pregnant women.
2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead without a chemical
analysis, we recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint:
PERSONA SAFETY
1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint
sanding is being done until all clean up is completed.
2. A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons entering the work area.
The filter should be replaced daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing.
See your local hardware store for the proper N.I.O.S.H. approved dust mask.
3. NO EATIN , DRINKIN or SMOKIN should be done in the work area to prevent
ingesting contaminated paint particles. Workers should wash and clean up
BEFORE eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or smoking should not
be left in the work area where dust would settle on them.
ENVIRONMENTA SAFETY
1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust
generated.
2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of 4
mils thickness.
3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the
work area.
C EANING AND DISPOSA
1. All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned daily for
the duration of the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be changed
frequently.
2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed of along with any dust
chips or other removal debris. They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles
and disposed of through regular trash pick-up procedures. During clean up,
children and pregnant women should be kept away from the immediate work area.
3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed
thoroughly before being used again.

•When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. The table shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY
CHARGERS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety instructions for
battery chargers.
• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on charger, battery
pack, and product using battery pack.
WARN NG: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger.
CAUT ON: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only designated
PORTER-CABLE batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury
and damage.
CAUT ON: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to the power
supply, the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive
nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic
particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the
power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before
attempting to clean.
•DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones
in this manual. The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.
•These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging designated
PORTER-CABLE rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire,
electric shock or electrocution.
•Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
•Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk of
damage to electric plug and cord.
•Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
•Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper
extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.
•An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge)
for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the
cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at
least the minimum wire size.
•Do not place any object on top of charger or place the charger on a soft surface
that might block the ventilation slots and result in excessive internal heat. Place
the charger in a position away from any heat source. The charger is ventilated
through slots in the top and the bottom of the housing.

charger, read the safety instructions below. Then follow charging procedures outlined.
READ A INSTRUCTIONS
•Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely
worn out. The battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are
created when battery packs are burned.
•Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery from the charger
may ignite the dust or fumes.
•If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with
mild soap and water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for
15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte
for i-Ion batteries is composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium
salts.
•Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air.
If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
WARN NG: B rn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
•Charge the battery packs only in PORTER-CAB E chargers.
•DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids. This may cause premature cell
failure.
•Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature
may reach or exceed 105°F (40˚C) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in
summer).
WARN NG: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If battery pack
case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage
battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been
dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer,
stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be returned to service center for recycling.
WARN NG: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects
can contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place battery in aprons,
pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals
inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand
tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material
Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes
(i.e., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UN ESS they are properly protected
from short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery
terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and
cause a short circuit. NOTE: Li-Ion batteries sho ld not be p t in checked baggage.

STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and
excess heat or cold.
2. Long storage will not harm the battery pack or charger.
CHARGING PROCEDURE
PORTER-CAB E chargers are designed to charge PORTER-CAB E battery packs in
30-60 minutes depending on the pack being charged.
1. Plug the charger (10) into an appropriate outlet before inserting the battery pack (8).
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger. (Figure 2)
3. The green LED will flash indicating that the battery
is being charged.
4. The completion of charge is indicated by the
green LED remaining on continuously. The pack is
fully charged and may be used at this time or left
on the charger.
Recharge ischarge batteries as soon as possible
after use or battery life may be greatly iminishe .
For longest battery life, o not ischarge batteries fully. It s recommended that the
batter es be recharged after each use.
CHARGER DIAGNOSTICS
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise with the battery packs or
the power source. Problems are indicated by one LED flashing in different patterns.
BAD BATTERY
The charger can detect a weak or damaged battery. The red LED flashes in the
pattern indicated on the label. If you see this bad battery blink pattern, do not
continue to charge the battery. Return it to a service center or a collection site for
recycling.
HOT/CO D PACK DE AY
When the charger detects a battery that is excessively hot or excessively cold, it
automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery
has normalized. After this happens, the charger automatically switches to the
Pack Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red LED
flashes in the pattern indicated on the label.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged
when the air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge the
battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C).
This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This is a
normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the
battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment
such as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off
when you turn out the lights.
c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air
temperature is approximately 65°F - 75°F (18°- 24°C).
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your
local service center.
4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on
jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack
whenever you desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.
5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool,
aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger

• Some accessories, such as scrapers
and blades can be mounted at an angle if
required as shown in figure 7.
nstalling/Removing Sanding
Sheets - Figure 8
A diamond shaped platen uses a hook
and loop adhesion system to attach the
sanding sheets. The platen allows you to
use it on large flat surfaces and tight
spots or corners.
• Attach the sanding platen as described
under “Installing/Removing Accessories”.
• Align the edges on the sanding sheet,
with the edge of the sanding platen and
press the sanding sheet onto the platen.
• Firmly press the base with the sanding
sheet attached against a flat surface and
briefly switch the tool on. This provides
for good adhesion between the platen
and the sanding sheet and also helps to
prevent premature wear.
• When the tip of the sanding sheet
becomes worn, detach the sheet from
the platen, rotate and reapply.
OPERATION
Switch
CAUT ON: Because thePCL120MT has a separate speed dial for setting the
speed (7,500 -15,000 OPM), the tool will start at the speed where the speed dial is set.
Be sure switch is fully OFF before inserting the battery into the tool.
NOTE: If battery is removed from tool
without turning switch OFF, the tool will
not start again until the battery is
replaced and the switch is turned OFF
and then ON again.
• Insert the battery into the tool.
• To turn the tool ON, hold it as shown in
figure 9 and push the slide switch
forward.
• To turn the tool OFF, push the slide

Low-battery Capacity ndicator
If the LED worklight begins to rapidly and continuously flash when the switch on the
tool is depressed, the battery-pack power has run out, and the battery pack should be
recharged.
Unlike other battery pack types, Lithium-Ion battery packs deliver fade-free power for
their entire run time. The tool will not experience a slow, gradual loss of power as you
work. To signal that the battery pack is at the end of its run time and needs to be
charged, the power to the tool will drop quickly.
NOTE: The LED may also flash due to an overload or high temperature (see Battery
Protection).
Battery Protection
The battery circuitry protects the battery pack from extreme temperature, over
discharge, and over-charge. To protect the battery from damage and prolong its life,
the battery pack circuitry will turn off the battery pack if it becomes overloaded or if the
temperature becomes too high during use. This may happen in situations involving
extremely high torque, binding and stalling. This intelligent system will shut down your
battery pack if its operating temperature exceeds 176°F (80°C) and will begin normal
operation when it returns to 32°F (0°C) – 122°F (50°C).
The LED worklight light will begin to flash slowly if the battery circuitry detects a
momentary overload.
NOTE: The battery can automatically reset. If the LED continues to flash rapidly, it is
indicating that the charge is substantially diminished. Place the battery into the charger
for charging. (See BATTERY CAPACITY INDICATOR, above.)
NOTE: A significantly reduced run time after fully charging the battery pack indicates
that the battery is near the end of its usable life and must be replaced.
Variable Speed Dial
To operate the tool, select the speed
setting you wish with the speed dial,
shown in figure 10, and slide the
ON/OFF switch forward. The speed
setting can be adjusted either with the
tool on or off.
CAUT ON: Because the
PCL120MT has a separate speed dial for
setting the speed (7,500 -15,000 OPM),
the tool will start at the speed where the
speed dial is set. Be sure switch is fully
OFF before inserting the battery into the tool.
The numbered positions,1 through 6 inscribed on the variable speed dial, do not
indicate any precise speed but are good reference points. The higher the number, the
higher the tool speed.
The approximate speed at each setting is:
SPEED SETTIN 1 2 3 4 5 6
APPROXIMATE SPEED 7,500 9,000 10,500 12,000 13,500 15,000
(Actual OPMʼs on your tool may vary.)
Be sure to select the proper speed for your oscillating tool operation. If in doubt about
the proper speed for your operation, test the performance at low speed settings and
gradually increase until a comfortable speed is found.

HE PFU HINTS
• Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement. Any
movement of the material may affect the quality of the cutting or sanding finish.
• Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper attached to sanding platen.
• Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit for smooth surfaces and
fine grit for the finishing surfaces. If necessary, first make a test run on scrap material.
• Excessive force will reduce the working efficiency and cause motor overload.
Replacing the accessory regularly will maintain optimum working efficiency.

Avertissements de sécurité généraux pour les outils
électriques
AVERT SSEMENT : ire tous les avertissements de sécurité et toutes
les directives. Le non-respect des avertissements et des directives pourrait
se solder par un choc électrique, un incendie et/ou une blessure grave.
Conserver tous les avertissements et toutes les directives pour un usage
ultérieur.
Le terme «outil électrique» cité dans les avertissements se rapporte à votre
outil électrique à alimentation sur secteur (avec fil) ou par piles (sans fil).
1) Sécurité du lieu de travail
a) Tenir la zone de travail propre et bien éclairée. es endroits sombres sont
souvent des causes d'accidents.
b) Ne pas faire fonctionner dʼoutils électriques dans un milieu déflagrant, soit
en présence de liquides inflammables, de gaz ou de poussière. es outils
électriques produisent des étincelles qui peuvent enflammer la poussière ou les
vapeurs.
c) Éloigner les enfants et les curieux au moment dʼutiliser un outil électrique.
Une distraction pourrait vous en faire perdre la maîtrise.
2) Sécurité en matière dʼélectricité
a) es fiches des outils électriques doivent correspondre à la prise. Ne jamais
modifier la fiche en aucune façon. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche dʼadaptation avec
un outil électrique mis à la terre. e risque de choc électrique sera réduit par
lʼutilisation de fiches non modifiées correspondant à la prise.
b) Éviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces mises à la terre comme des
tuyaux, des radiateurs, des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. e risque de
choc électrique est plus élevé si votre corps est mis à la terre.
c) Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou à d'autres conditions où il
pourrait être mouillé. a pénétration de lʼeau dans un outil électrique augmente
le risque de choc électrique.
d) Ne pas utiliser abusivement le cordon dʼalimentation. Ne jamais utiliser le
cordon pour transporter, tirer ou débrancher un outil électrique. Tenir le
cordon éloigné de la chaleur, de lʼhuile, des bords tranchants ou des pièces
mobiles. es cordons endommagés ou emmêlés augmentent les risques de choc
électrique.
e) Pour lʼutilisation dʼun outil électrique à lʼextérieur, se servir dʼune rallonge
convenant à une telle utilisation. ʼutilisation dʼune rallonge conçue pour
lʼextérieur réduit les risques de choc électrique.
f) Sʼil est impossible dʼéviter lʼutilisation dʼun outil électrique dans un endroit
humide, brancher lʼoutil dans une prise ou sur un circuit dʼalimentation
dotés dʼun disjoncteur de fuite à la terre (GFCI). ʼutilisation de ce type de
disjoncteur réduit les risques de choc électrique.

19
3) Sécurité personnelle
a) Être vigilant, surveiller le travail effectué et faire preuve de jugement
lorsquʼun outil électrique est utilisé. Ne pas utiliser dʼoutil électrique en cas
de fatigue ou sous lʼinfluence de drogues, dʼalcool ou de médicaments. Un
simple moment dʼinattention en utilisant un outil électrique peut entraîner des
blessures corporelles graves.
b) Utiliser des équipements de protection individuelle. Toujours porter une
protection oculaire. ʼutilisation dʼéquipements de protection comme un masque
antipoussière, des chaussures antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou des
protecteurs auditifs lorsque la situation le requiert réduira les risques de blessures
corporelles.
c) Empêcher les démarrages intempestifs. Sʼassurer que lʼinterrupteur se
trouve à la position dʼarrêt avant de relier lʼoutil à une source dʼalimentation
et/ou dʼinsérer un bloc-piles, de ramasser ou de transporter lʼoutil.
Transporter un outil électrique alors que le doigt repose sur lʼinterrupteur ou
brancher un outil électrique dont lʼinterrupteur est à la position de marche risque
de provoquer un accident.
d) Retirer toute clé de réglage ou clé standard avant de démarrer lʼoutil. Une clé
standard ou une clé de réglage attachée à une partie pivotante peut causer des
blessures.
e) Ne pas trop tendre les bras. Conserver son équilibre en tout temps. Cela
permet de mieux maîtriser lʼoutil électrique dans les situations imprévues.
f) Sʼhabiller de manière appropriée. Ne pas porter de vêtements amples ni de
bijoux. Garder les cheveux, les vêtements et les gants à lʼécart des pièces
mobiles. es vêtements amples, les bijoux ou les cheveux longs risquent de
rester coincés dans les pièces mobiles.
g) Si des composants sont fournis pour le raccordement de dispositifs de
dépoussiérage et de ramassage, sʼassurer que ceux-ci sont bien raccordés
et utilisés. ʼutilisation dʼun dispositif de dépoussiérage peut réduire les dangers
engendrés par les poussières.
4) Utilisation et entretien dʼun outil électrique
a) Ne pas forcer un outil électrique. Utiliser lʼoutil électrique approprié à
lʼapplication. ʼoutil électrique approprié effectuera un meilleur travail, de façon
plus sûre et à la vitesse pour laquelle il a été conçu.
b) Ne pas utiliser un outil électrique dont lʼinterrupteur est défectueux. Tout outil
électrique dont lʼinterrupteur est défectueux est dangereux et doit être réparé.
c) Débrancher la fiche du secteur ou le bloc-piles de lʼoutil électrique avant de
faire tout réglage ou changement dʼaccessoire, ou avant de ranger lʼoutil
électrique. Ces mesures préventives réduisent les risques de démarrage
accidentel de lʼoutil électrique.
d) Ranger les outils électriques hors de la portée des enfants, et ne permettre à
aucune personne nʼétant pas familière avec un outil électrique (ou son
manuel dʼinstruction) dʼutiliser ce dernier. es outils électriques deviennent
dangereux entre les mains dʼutilisateurs inexpérimentés.
e) Entretenir les outils électriques. Vérifier les pièces mobiles pour sʼassurer
quʼelles sont bien alignées et tournent librement, quʼelles sont en bon état et
ne sont affectées par aucun trouble susceptible de nuire au bon
fonctionnement de lʼoutil électrique.En cas de dommage, faire réparer lʼoutil
électrique avant toute nouvelle utilisation. Beaucoup dʼaccidents sont causés
par des outils électriques mal entretenus.
f) Sʼassurer que les outils de coupe sont aiguisés et propres. es outils de
coupe bien entretenus et affûtés sont moins susceptibles de se coincer et sont
plus faciles à contrôler.
g) Utiliser lʼoutil électrique, les accessoires, les forets, etc. conformément aux
présentes directives en tenant compte des conditions de travail et du travail
à effectuer. ʼutilisation dʼun outil électrique pour toute opération autre que celle
pour laquelle il a été conçu est dangereuse.
5) Utilisation et entretien du bloc-piles
a) Ne recharger lʼoutil quʼau moyen du chargeur précisé par le fabricant.
ʼutilisation dʼun chargeur qui convient à un type de bloc-piles risque de provoquer
un incendie sʼil est utilisé avec un autre type de bloc-piles.

20
b) Utiliser les outils électriques uniquement avec les blocs-piles conçus à cet
effet. ʼutilisation de tout autre bloc-piles risque de causer des blessures ou un
incendie.
c) orsque le bloc-piles nʼest pas utilisé, le tenir éloigné des objets
métalliques, notamment des trombones, de la monnaie, des clés, des clous,
des vis, etc., qui peuvent établir une connexion entre les deux bornes. e
court-circuit des bornes du bloc-piles risque de provoquer des étincelles, des brûlures
ou un incendie.
d) En cas dʼutilisation abusive, le liquide peut gicler hors du bloc-piles, éviter
tout contact. Si un contact accidentel se produit, laver à grande eau. Si le
liquide entre en contact avec les yeux, obtenir des soins médicaux. e
liquide qui gicle hors du bloc-piles peut provoquer des irritations ou des brûlures.
6) Réparation
a) Faire réparer lʼoutil électrique par un réparateur professionnel en nʼutilisant
que des pièces de rechange identiques. Cela permettra de maintenir une
utilisation sécuritaire de lʼoutil électrique.
Règles de sécurité spécifiques
•Mettre lʼoutil hors tension avant de lʼutiliser près de fils sous tension ou à un
endroit pouvant comprendre des fils cachés. Un accessoire de coupe qui entre en
contact avec un fil sous tension peut causer la mise sous tension de pièces
métalliques exposées de lʼoutil électrique et ainsi donner une décharge électrique à
lʼopérateur. Toujours vérifier la présence de fils cachés, de conduites de gaz ou
dʼautres services publics avant de procéder à la coupe de matériau ou à des
opérations dʼenlèvement avec lʼoutil.
• Tenir lʼoutil électrique par sa surface de prise isolée dans une situation où
l'accessoire de coupe pourrait entrer en contact avec un câble électrique
dissimulé. Tout contact entre un fil « sous tension » et lʼaccessoire de coupe pourrait
également mettre « sous tension » les pièces métalliques exposées de lʼoutil et
électrocuter lʼutilisateur.
•Utiliser des pinces ou tout autre moyen pratique de soutenir et de fixer
solidement la pièce sur une plate-forme stable. Tenir la pièce avec la main ou
contre son corps nʼest pas suffisamment stable et risque de provoquer une perte de
maîtrise de lʼoutil.
•Attendre que le couteau cesse de fonctionner avant de déposer l'outil. Un
couteau exposé peut pénétrer dans la surface et causer une perte de maîtrise de
l'outil et des blessures graves.
•Ne pas faire fonctionner cet outil durant de longues périodes. es vibrations
causées par le fonctionnement de cet outil peuvent provoquer des blessures
permanentes aux doigts, aux mains et aux bras. Utiliser des gants pour amortir
davantage les vibrations, prendre de fréquentes périodes de repos et limiter la durée
quotidienne dʼutilisation.
•Toujours tenir fermement l'outil des deux mains pour assurer une maîtrise
maximale. Conserver son équilibre en tout temps. Cela permet de mieux maîtriser
lʼoutil électrique dans les situations imprévues.
•Ne pas reprendre la coupe dans le trait de coupe de la pièce. Attendre que l'outil
soit à plein régime, puis le réinsérer soigneusement dans le trait de coupe.
•Ne pas « coincer » la lame tronçonneuse ni appliquer une pression excessive.
Ne pas essayer de couper à une profondeur trop importante.
•Tenir les mains éloignées de la zone de coupe. Ne pas toucher la zone située
sous le matériau se faisant couper.
•Ne pas utiliser de lames émoussées ou endommagées. Une lame pliée peut se
briser facilement ou provoquer un effet de rebond. Faire preuve de grande prudence
au moment de manipuler les accessoires. es accessoires sont très coupants. Porter
des gants de protection au moment de changer des accessoires de coupe. es
accessoires deviennent chauds après un usage prolongé.
•Avant de procéder au raclage, vérifier si la pièce présente des clous. e cas
échéant, enlever les clous ou les enfoncer bien au-dessous de la surface finie
prévue. Accrocher un clou avec le bord d'un accessoire risque de faire bondir l'outil.
•Ne pas poncer à lʼeau avec le présent outil. a pénétration de liquides dans le
carter du moteur constitue un risque de décharge électrique.
