Work Area

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

accidents.

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.

Keep by-standers, children, and visitors

away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Double Insulated tools are sqmpped 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 cha.n_e the plug in

any way. Double Insulation LOJeliminates the

need for the three wire grounded power

cord and grounded power supply system.

Before plugging In the tool, be certain the

outlet voltage supplied is within the voltage

marked on the nameplate. Do not use "AC

only" rated tools with a DC power supply.

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. If

operating the power tool in damp locations is

unavoidable, a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

must be used to supply the power to your tool,

Electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock,

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
to carry the tools or pull the plug from an

outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Replace damaged

cords Immediately. Damaged cords increase
the risk of electdc shock.

When operating a power tool outside, use an

outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or

"W." These cords are rated for outdoor useand

reduce the risk of electric shock. Refer to
"Recommended sizes of Extension Cords" In

the Accessory section of this manual.

Personal Safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a power

tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the

influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result inserious personal injury.

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 haircan
be caught in moving parts. Keep handles dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is
"OFF" before plugging in. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools

that havethe switch "ON" invitesaccidents.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before

turning the tool "ON". A wrench or a key that

isleftattached to a rotating part of the tool may
resultin personal injury.Do not overreach.

Keep proper footing and balance at all

times. Proper footing and balance enables

better control of the tool in unexpected
situations,

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be
used for appropdate conditions.

Tool Use and Care

use clamps or other practical way 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 applicstlon. The correct tool will do the

job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it

"ON" or "OFF". Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and

must be repaired.

Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits
must be handled with care. Damaged bits can

snap during use. Dull bits require more force to
push the tool, possibly causing the bit to break.

after the use. After use the bit is too hot to be

touched by bare hands.
Never lay the tool down until the motor has

Never use bits that have a cutting diameter

contains chemicals known 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.
