IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

General Tool Safety Warnings

Read all safety warnings and 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.

Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

1. Tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with grounded tools. Unmodified plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

2. 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.

3. Do not expose tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

4. 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.

5. When operating a tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.

6. If operating a 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.

Personal safety

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a tool. Do not
use a tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating tools
may result in serious personal injury.

2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Safety equipment such as

dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to
power source, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.

4. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry

or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

5. Only use safety equipment that has been
approved by an appropriate standards agency.

Unapproved safety equipment may not provide
adequate protection. Eye protection must be
ANSI-approved and breathing protection
must be NIOSH-approved for the
specific hazards in the work area.

Tool use and care

1. Use the correct tool for your application.

The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.

2. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with

the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

3. Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, or storing
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce

the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

4. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool
or these instructions to operate the tool. Tools

are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

5. Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect
the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
tool repaired before use. Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained tools.

Service

Have your tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the tool is maintained.
