GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL
INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed
in the following pages may result in
electric shock, re, and/or serious
injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and 1.
well lit. Cluttered benches and dark
areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in 2.
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of ammable liquids,
gases, or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite ammables.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Grounded tools must be plugged 1.
into an outlet properly installed
and grounded in accordance with
all codes and ordinances. Never
remove the grounding prong or
modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs. Check
with a qualied electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. If the
tools should electrically malfunction
or break down, grounding provides a
low resistance path to carry electricity
away from the user.
Double insulated tools are 2.
equipped with a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not t fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied 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 3.
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 4.
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the Power Cord.5.
Never use the Power Cord to carry
the tools or pull the Plug from an
outlet. Keep the Power Cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges, or
moving parts. Replace damaged
Power Cords immediately. Dam-
aged Power Cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
When operating a power tool out-6.
side, use an outdoor extension
cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These
extension cords are rated for outdoor
use, and reduce the risk of electric
shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert. Watch what you are do-1.
ing, and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while tired or under
the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
Remove adjusting keys or wrench-4.
es before turning the power tool
on. A wrench or a key that is left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper 5.
footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always 6.
wear eye protection. Dust mask,
nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Use clamps (not included) or other 1.
practical ways 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 cor-2.
rect tool for your application. The
correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose 2.
clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting.3. Be sure
the Power Switch is off before
plugging in. Carrying power tools
with your nger on the Power Switch,
or plugging in power tools with the
Power Switch on, invites accidents.

Do not use the power tool if the 3.
Power Switch does not turn it on
or off. Any tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
Disconnect the Power Cord Plug 4.
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 chil-5.
dren and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. 6. Keep cut-
ting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained tools with a sharp
cutting edge are less likely to bind
and are easier to control. Do not use
a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools
“Do not use” until repaired.
Check for misalignment or binding 7.
of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other condition that may
affect the tool’s operation. If dam-
aged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are 8.
recommended by the manufac-
turer for your model. Accessories
that may be suitable for one tool may
become hazardous when used on
another tool.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed 1.
only by qualied repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by
unqualied personnel could result in
a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only 2.
identical replacement parts. Fol-
low instructions in the “Inspec-
tion, Maintenance, And Cleaning”
section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow
maintenance instructions may create
a risk of electric shock or injury.
