GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read and understand alt
instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire,
and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
■ Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
■ Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo
spheres, 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 refrigera
tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
■ Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet condi
tions. 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.

shock.
■ When operating a power tool outside, use an
outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W.”
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the
risk of electric shock.
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. A moment of inatten
tion while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
■ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, cloth
ing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
■ Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off
before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger
on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
■ Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
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 protec
tion. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
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
application. 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.
■ Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing acces
sories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool acciden
tally.
■ Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
■ Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
■ 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 serviced before using. Many acci
dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
■ 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
■ Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of
injury.
■ When servicing a tool, use only identical replace
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Mainte
nance section of this manual.
parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions
may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Hold tool by Insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting toot may contact
hidden wiring or its cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed meiat parts of the tool "live" and shock the
operator.
Additional Rules for Safe Operation
■ 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. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
■ Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses
have only impact*resistant lenses; they are NOT
safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious persona! injury.
■ 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 dur
ing extended periods of operation. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
■ Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged,
have repaired at your nearest Factory Service
Center or other Authorized Service Organiza
tion. Constantly stay aware of cord location.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock or fire.
■ 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 func
tion. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and
any other conditions 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.
■ Don't abuse cord. Never carry the tool by the
cord or yank it to disconnect it from the recep
tacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp
edges. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock or fire.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condi
tion. 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.
Inspect forand removeall 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.
V WARNING: Some dust created by power
^ sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known
to cause cancer, birth detects 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.
