IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA

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 lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized 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 qualified
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. Keep the 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, use 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-the-house” lamp extension cords. These cords can easily overheat and/or catch fire when used
with power tools.

TOOL USE & CARE

Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or

against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
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 untrained users.

People with pacemakers or other electronic devices should consult with a physician before operating this product. Interruption

or failure of the pacemaker could occur when electrical equipment is operated within close proximity of electrical devices.
