WARNING
WEAR RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-base paints,
• Crystalline Silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and Chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals, work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

WARNING
GENERAL SAFETY RULES:
WORK AREA
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
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.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Protect Against Noise
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment
or loss of hearing. Wear a suitable hearing protective device
such as earmuffs or earplugs to protect against objectionable
or uncomfortable loud noises.
Operating equipment safely requires the full attention of
the operator. Do not wear radio or music headphones
while operating machine.

WARNING
GENERAL SAFETY RULES:
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
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 adaptor 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.
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.
Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or
pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
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.

Note: When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. John Deere recommends
using a minimum 12 gauge extension cord not to exceed
100 feet. The table below is supplied only as a guide to
minimum gauge for extension cords, where the smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.

WARNING
GENERAL SAFETY RULES:
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use 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.
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.
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.
Remove adjusting keys or switches 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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask,
nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used
for appropriate conditions.
Never touch the moving parts. Never touch the blade while the
power cord is connect to the power source.
TOOL USE AND CARE
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.
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.
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.
Disconnect the 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.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
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.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
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.
Never touch the moving parts. Never touch the blade while the
power cord is connected to the power source.
