WARNING: Read and understand all 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. Clut- tered 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 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.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immedi-
ately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W."
These cords are ratedfor 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 influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A mo-
ment of inattention 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,
clothing, 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.

body is unstable and may lead to _ossof 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 accessories, or storing the tool. Such preven-
tive 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 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 condi- tion that may affect the tool's operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended
by the manufacturer for your model. Accesso- ries that may be suitable for one tool may become
hazardous when used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by quali-
fied repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel coutd result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or
injury.

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 thisrule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eye-
glasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal 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 during extended periods of operation. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
Inspect tool cords periodically and, if dam- aged, have repaired at your nearest Factory
Service Center or other Authorized Service Organization. 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
function. 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 receptacle. 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
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.
Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting. 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.

them these instructions also.
_k 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 particles.
