,_i 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. 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 insula-
tion [] 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 refrigerators.
There is an increased riskof electric shock ifyour
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 pads. 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 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-
tionwhile operating power tools may result inserious
personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, cloth-
ing, and gloves away from moving pads. 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 fingeron
the switch or pluggingin tools that have the switchon
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, nonskidsafety 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
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 willdo 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.
• •aintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likelyto bindand are easier to
control.
• Check for mlsallgnment 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 poody 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'p_Hormed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in a dsk of
injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow Instructions in the Mainte-
nance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions
may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

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 personal injury.
• Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operetlon 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.
• 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 willcause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
• Inspect for and remove aU 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. Ifyou loan someone this tool, loan them these
instructions also.
• 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.
WARNING: Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities 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.
