,_ WARNING: Read and understand all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below,
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
personal injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Know your power tool. Read operator's manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this
tool.
• Guard against electrical shock by preventing body
contact with grounded surfaces. For example: Pipes,
radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
• Keep guards in place and in working order.
• 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.
• Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
• Avoid dangerous environment. Don't use power
tool in damp or wet locations or expose to rain. Keep
work area well lit.
Keep children and visitors away. All visitors should
wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance
from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or
extension cord.
• Store idle tools. When not in use tools should be
stored in a dry and high or locked-up place - out of
the reach of children.
• Don't force the tool. Don't force small tool or
attachment to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Don't
use tool for purpose not intended - for example - A
circular saw should never be used for cutting tree
limbs or logs.
• 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.
• Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses
have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT
safety glasses.
• Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if
the operation is dusty. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
• Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection
during extended periods of operation. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
• Don't abuse cord. Never carry tool by cord or yank
it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from
heat, oil and sharp edges.
• Secure work. Use clamps or another 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.

• Don't overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Do not use on a ladder or unstable
support.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and
clean at all times for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
Disconnect tools. When not in use, before servic-
ing, or when changing attachments, blades, bits,
cutters, etc., all tools should be disconnected from
power supply.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
Avoid accidental starting. Don't carry plugged-in
tools with finger on switch. Be sure switch is off
when plugging in.
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. A wire gage size
(A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an
extension cord 100 feet or less in length. A cord
exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Outdoor use extension cords. When tool is used
outdoors, use only extension cords suitable for use
outdoors. Outdoor approved cords are marked with
the suffix W-A, for example - SJTW-A or SJOW-A.
Keep bits clean and sharp. Sharp bits minimize
stalling kickback.
Keep hands away from drilling area. Keep hands
away from bits. Do not reach underneath work while
bit is rotating. Do not attempt to remove material
while bit is rotating.
Never use in an explosive atmosphere. Normal
sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged,
have repaired at your nearest authorized ser-
vice center. Constantly stay aware of cord
location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock or fire.
Inspect extension cords periodically and replace
if damaged.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning.
Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products or any strong solvents to clean your tool.
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use
common sense. Do not operate tool when you are
tired. Do not rush.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condi-
tions that may affect its operation. A guard or other
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or
serious injury.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and
off. Have defective switches replaced by an autho-
rized service center.
• Drilling into electrical wiring in walls can cause
drill bit and chuck to become electrically live.
Do not touch the chuck or metal housing when
drilling into a wall; grasp only the insulated
handle(s) provided on the tool.
• Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber
before drilling. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
• Drugs, alcohol, medication. Do not operate tool
while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
any medication. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
• Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently
and use them to instruct others who may use this
tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these
instructions also.
WARNING: Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduc-
tive 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 par-
ticles.
Important: Some of the following symbols may be used on your tool. Please study them and learn their meaning.
Proper interpretation of these symbols will allow you to operate the tool better and safer.
