Work Area

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.

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

tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from
debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.

Electrical Safety

4. Avoid body contact with gr ounded surfaces suc h as pipes, radiator s, ranges,
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is

grounded.

5. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. W ater entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.

6. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet pr operly 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. Chec k with
a qualified 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.

7. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider

than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet 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

cord and grounded power supply system.

eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power

8. Do not abuse the P ower Cord. 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 mo ving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged

Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

9. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power 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.

10. Dress properly. Do not wear loose 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.

11. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Po wer Switc h is off bef ore plug ging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in power tools
with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.

12. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.

13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

Tool Use and Care

15. Use clamps (not included) or other 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.

16. 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.

17. Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool
that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.

18. Disconnect the Power Cord 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.

19. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and c lean. Properly
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.

21. 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.

22. 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.

Service

23. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

24. When servicing a tool, use onl y identical replacement parts. Follow instructions

in the

unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
