WORK AREA

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

2. 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 ﬂammables.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the inﬂuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your ﬁnger on the Power Switch, or plugging in power tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.

4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

6. Use safety equipment. Always wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, a

dust mask or respirator, and hearing protection.

TOOL USE AND CARE

1. Do not force the 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.

SKU 91511 PAGE 3

2. Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.

3. 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.

4. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

5. Maintain tools with care. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired.

6. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,

cracking or breakage of the Blade, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

7. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.

SERVICE

1. Tool service must be performed only by qualiﬁed repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualiﬁed personnel could result in a risk of injury.

2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow

instructions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions

may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualiﬁed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or

break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

SKU 91511 PAGE 4

2. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one prong 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.

3. 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.

4. Do not expose power tools to external rain or wet conditions. Water entering unprotected parts of this power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

5. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools

or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately.

Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

6. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock.

GROUNDING

WARNING!

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric

shock. Check with a qualiﬁed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet

is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with

the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the

tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by

a service facility before use. If the plug will not ﬁt the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualiﬁed electrician.

GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS

1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low

SKU 91511 PAGE 5

resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See Figure A.)

2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal. (See Figure A.)

3. Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the following illustration. (See Figure A.)

FIGURE A

EXTENSION CORDS

1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord.

2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.

(See Figure B, next page.)

3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.

(See Figure B.)

4. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See Figure B.)
