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, cement and other masonry products

· 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.

POWER TOOL SAFETY

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING

Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow

all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

WORK AREA

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

benches and dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the

dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating the 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 plug 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.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, 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 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 protection. Dust mask, non-skid 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 platform. Holding the

work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Do not force the 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.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is

increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering the 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 immediately. 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 the tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating

power tools may result in serious personal injury.

Do not use the tool if the 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 preventive safety measures reduce

the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

Store idle tools out of 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 cutting 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 condition 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. Accessories that may be

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

ROTARY TOOL SAFETY

SERVICE

Tool service must be performed only by qualified personnel.

Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in 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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make

exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

Always make sure the work surface is free from nails and other foreign objects. Cutting into a nail can cause the bit and

the tool to jump and damage the bit.

Never hold the workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand when in use. Never place the hands near or below the cutting surface. Clamping the material and guiding

the tool with both hands is much safer.

Never lay workpiece on hard surfaces like concrete, stone, etc. Protruding cutting bit may cause tool to jump.

Always wear safety goggles and dust mask. Use only in well ventilated area. Using personal safety devices and working in a

safe environment reduces risk of injury.

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any power tool

can throw foreign objects into your eyes which could cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI safety standard Z87.1.

Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses. Safety goggles are available at most hardware stores.

Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could cause serious injury when they break.

After changing the bits or making adjustments, make sure the collet nut and any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment devices will be

violently thrown.

Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits must be handled with care. Damaged bits can snap during use.

Dull bits require more force to push the tool, possibly causing the bit to break.

Never touch the bit during or immediately after use.

After use the bit is too hot to be touched by bare hands.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS & SAFETY

DOUBLE INSULATION

This cutting tool is double insulated to protect you from electrical shock.

WARNING

Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not alter 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 refrigerators. There is an

increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or pull the plug from the outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These

cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

WARNING

Always make sure the receptacle is polarized. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION 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 the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number the heavier the cord.

Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it. Protect your extension cord from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your power tools.

This circuit must not be less than 14 gauge wire and should be protected with either a 15 Ampere time delay fuse or circuit breaker. Before connecting the power tool to the power source, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the power source is the same as indicated on the nameplate. Running at lower voltage will damage the motor.

WARNING

Repair or replace damaged or worn extension cords immediately.

WARNING

Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so it will not get caught on the workpiece, tools or any other obstructions while you are working with the power tool.
