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 too(s may create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, end 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 polar-
ized 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 _d'rigere-
tore. There is an increased risk oi"electric shock if
your body is grounded.
• Don't expose power tools to rain orwet 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.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords immedi-
ately, Damaged cords increase the risk of electric
shook
• 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 electdc shock.
Personal Safety
• Stay ale=t, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating e power tool.
Do not use tool while tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal iniury.
€lothing, 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 orwrenches before
turning the tool on, Awreneh 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 end
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, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
Tool Use and Care
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure
and suppo=t the workpiece to a stable platform.

unstable and may lead to loss of control
• Do not force tool Use the corrsct 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 power source before
making any adjustments, changing accesso-
ries, or storing the tool, Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
• 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 outing edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control
• Checkfor misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, end any other condi-
tion that may affect the tool's operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Many acciderts are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
