SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS

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 sparkswhich may ignitethe dust or fumes.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away

while operating a power tool. Distractionscan

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 riskof electric

shock.

When operating a power tool outside, use an

outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W."

These cords are rated for outdooruse and reduce the risk of electricshock.

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 longhaircan be caught

in moving parts.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying toolswith your

finger on the switch or plugging in toolsthat have the switch on invitesaccidents.

• 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 toolmay result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance

enables better control of the toolin 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.

Tool Use and Care •

• Use clamps or other practical way to secure

and support the workpiece to a stable plat- form. 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 Service

• 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 injury. 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 accidentsare caused by poorly maintained

tools.

Use only accessories that ere recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accesso-

des that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.

Tool service must be performed only by quali- fied repair personnel. Service or maintenance

performed by unqualified personnel could 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

unauthorizedparts or failure to follow Maintenance

Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may

contact hidden wiring or its cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal 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 eye-

glasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they

are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will

• 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 pads, 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 end overheating.
