IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES

COMMON SENSE AND CAUTION ARE FACTORS WHICH CANNOT BE BUILT INTO ANY PRODUCT.
THESE FACTORS MUST BE SUPPLIED BY THE OPERATOR.

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered work benches and dark work areas may cause accidents or
injury.

Do not operate power tools in explosive areas, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to

Double insulated tools are equipped with a po larized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a quali fied electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in
any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire

grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is

an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or pull the plug from an outlet. Kee p th e
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged

cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating the tool outside, us e an outdoor extension cord marked “WA” or “W.” These cords are

rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. Make sure the extension cord being used is in good
condition. If there are any cuts or nicks (no matter how deep) in the insulation, DO NOT use that cord. Also,
make sure the extension cord is heavy enough to carry the current needed. DO NOT use small "around-the­house” lamp extension cords. These cords can easily overheat and/or catch fire when used with power tools.

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 the tool if the power 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 power cord 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

People with pacemakers or other electronic devices should consult with a physician befo re operating
this product. Interruption or failure of the pacemaker could occur when electrical equipment is operated within

close proximity of electrical devices.
