Safety Warnings and Precautions

WARNING: When using tool, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.

Read all instructions before using this tool!

1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.

2. Observe work area conditions. Do not use machines or power tools in damp or wet

locations. Don’t expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted. Do not use electrically
powered tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.

3. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let

them handle machines, tools, or extension cords.

4. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry location to

inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.

5. Do not force tool. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was

intended. Do not use inappropriate attachments in an attempt to exceed the tool
capacity.

6. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to

do the work of a larger industrial tool. There are certain applications for which this tool
was designed. Do not modify this tool and do not use this tool for a purpose for which
it was not intended.

7. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in

moving parts. Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid footwear
are recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.

8. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles.

Wear a full face shield if you are producing metal filings or wood chips. Wear an ANSI
approved dust mask or respirator when working around metal, wood, and chemical
dusts and mists.

9. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or

across running machines.

10. Disconnect power. Unplug tool when not in use.

11. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjusting wrenches

are removed from the tool or machine work surface before plugging it in.

12. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the switch is in the Off position when not in use

and before plugging in. Do not carry any tool with your finger on the trigger, whether it
is plugged in or not.

13. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool

when you are tired.

14. Take caution as some woods contain preservatives such as copper chromium
arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When cutting these materials extra care should
be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.

15. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts
or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified
technician. Do not use the tool if any switch does not turn On and Off properly.

16. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.

17. Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning
labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while
taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.

18. Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required, it must be
of the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the tool without heating up.
Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and catch fire, or cause electrical damage to
the tool. This tool requires use of an extension cord of 0 to 10 amps capatibility (up to
50 feet), with wire size rated at 18 AWG. Longer extension cords require larger size
wire. If you are using the tool outdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use.
(signified by “WA” on the jacket).

19. WARNING: People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before

use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
