WARNING: For your own safety read all of the instruc-
tions and precautions before operating tool.
CAUTION: Always follow proper operating procedures
as defined in this manual even if you are familiar with
use of this or similar tools. Remember that being care-
less for even a fraction of a second can result in severe
personal injury.
BE PREPARED FOR JOB
• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry
which may get caught in moving parts of machine.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
• Wear safety glasses complying with United States
ANSI Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact
resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses.
• Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is dusty.
• Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools
when tired, intoxicated or when taking medications
that cause drowsiness.
PREPARE WORK AREA FOR JOB
• Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas invite
accidents.
• Do not use power tools in dangerous environments.
• Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Do
not expose power tools to rain.
• Work area should be properly lighted.
• Proper electrical receptacle should be available for
tool. Three prong plug should be plugged directly
into properly grounded, three-prong receptacle.
• Extension cords should have a grounding prong and
the three wires of the extension cord should be of
the correct gauge.
• Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
• Keep children out of workplace. Make workshop child-
proof. Use padlocks, master switches or remove switch
keys to prevent any unintentional use of power tools.
TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED
• Always unplug tool prior to inspection.
• Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjust-
ing procedures.
• Keep tool lubricated and clean for safest operation.
• Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to
see that adjusting tools are removed before switch-
ing machine on.
• Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine
that the guard or other parts will operate properly
and perform their intended function.
• Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding, breakage, mounting and any
other condition that may affect a tool's operation.
• A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced. Do not perform
makeshift repairs. (Use parts list provided to order
replacement parts.)
KNOW HOW TO USE TOOL
• Use right tool for job. Do not force tool or attachment
to do a job for which it was not designed.
• Disconnect tool when changing accessories, such as
bits, cutters and the like.
• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the switch
is in the OFF position before plugging in.
• Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the
rate for which it was designed.
• Keep hands away from moving parts and cutting
surfaces.
• Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power
off and do not leave tool until it comes to a complete
stop.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
• Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is
tipped or if blade is unintentionally contacted.
• Knowyourtool.Learnthetool'soperation,applica-
tionandspecificlimitations.

tric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
• Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it
must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle installed in accordance with National
Electric Code and local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Any receptacle replacement should be
performed by a qualified electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter
(See Figure 2) is available for connecting plugs to a two
pole outlet if it is properly grounded.
EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop
in voltage and loss of power.
