SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(For
All Tools)
WARNING:
WHEN USING ELECTRIC TOOLS, BASIC SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE
THE RISK
OF
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, AND PERSONAL
INJURY, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
1.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
2.
CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools
or
wet locations. Keep work area well
Don't use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
3.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept away from work area.
Don't let visitors contact tool or extension cord.
4.
STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not
or locked-up place
5.
DON'T FORCE TOOL.
it
was intended.
6.
USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the job of a
heavy-duty tool. Don't use tool for purpose not intended; for example, don't
use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
7.
DRESS PROPERLY. Don't wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught
in
moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
8.
USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face
dusty.
9.
DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
10.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than using
your hand and
11.
DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
12.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and
safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and
rized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

before turning
with finger on switch.
Be sure switch is OFF when plugging in.
16.
EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
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. Table 1 shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.

part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that
operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual.
