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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. 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 of fumes.
(3) Keep bystanders children, and visitors away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical Safety
(1) 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
need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.
(2) 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.
(3) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
(4) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the
plug from a receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
(5) 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.
3. Personal Safety
(1) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tires or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
(2) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
4
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
eliminates the
(3) 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.
(4) Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench
or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
(5) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
(6) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
4. Tool Use and Care
(1) 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.
(2) Do not force 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.
(3) Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
(4) Disconnect the plug form 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.
(5) Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
(6) Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
(7) 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.
(8) 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 with another tool.
5. Service
(1) Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of
injury.
(2) 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 Instruction may create
a risk of electric shock or injury.
