Safety Instructions For All Tools

• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite

injuries.

• CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don’t expose

power tools to rain. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.

• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact

with grounded surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.

• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Do not let visitors contact tool or

extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from work area.

• STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in

dry, and high or locked-up place — out of reach of children.

• DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was intended.

• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force small tool or attachment to do the

job of a heavy-duty tool. Don’t use tool for purpose not intended.

English

• DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.

They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

• USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if operation

is dusty.

• DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to

disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer

than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all

times.

• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for

better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

• DISCONNECT OR LOCK OFF TOOLS when not in use, before

servicing, and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters.

• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit

of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

• AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don’t carry tool with

finger on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.

• EXTENSION CORDS. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have

3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Replace or repair damaged cords. 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. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

Additional Safety Instructions for Grinders

• ALWAYS USE GUARDS AND EYE SHIELDS. WHEN GRINDING, ALWAYS KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE.

• Use only grinding wheels having a maximum operating speed at least as high as the “No Load RPM” marked on the tool’s nameplate. Use only grinding wheels suitable for the speed of the grinder.

• Use only flanges furnished with the grinder.

• Adjust distance between wheel and work rest to maintain 1/8" (3.18 mm) or less separation as the diameter of the wheel decreases with use.

• Before using, inspect recommended accessory for cracks or flaws. If such a crack or flaw is evident, discard the accessory. DO NOT USE A GRINDING WHEEL THAT IS CRACKED OR FLAWED IN ANY WAY.

• When starting the tool, let it run for one minute. Never start the tool with a person in line with the wheel. This includes the operator.

• Do not grind on the sides of grinding wheels unless they are specifically designed for that purpose.

• Do not overtighten the hex nut. This may crack the grinding wheel.

• Clean the cavity around the grinding wheel periodically.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are

NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California 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.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or

lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust,

which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other
