READ AND UNDERST AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shoc k, fire, and/or serious injury.

SA VE THESE INSTRUCTION

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.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power 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.

4. Use tool in a well ventilated area. Spray dust can cause injury or explosion hazard.

Electrical Safety

5. 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.

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

7. Grounded tools must be plugged 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 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.

8. 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.

9. Do not abuse the Power 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 moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged

Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

10. When operating a power tool outside, 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

11. 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.

12. 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.

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

14. 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.

15. 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.

16. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye, face, and breathing protection. Dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.

Tool Use and Care

17. 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.

18. 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.

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

20. 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 star ting the tool accidentally.

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

22. Maintain tools with care. Properly maintained tools are less likely to clog and are
easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until
repaired.

23. 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.

24. 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

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

26. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow

instructions in the
manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instr uctions may

create a risk of electric shock or injury.
