WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling

defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your level of 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 wellventilated area and work with approved safety equipment such as dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

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.
WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in
potentially explosive environments,
such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gas or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors
away while operating the tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Double insulated tools are equipped
with a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized plug 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 alter the plug in any way.
Double insulation eliminates the need for
the three-prong grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering the power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord to carry the tool 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 outdoors,
use an outdoor extension cord marked
“W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for
outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use the 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 jewellery.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the
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.

POWER TOOL SAFETY
PERSONAL SAFETY – cont’d
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool ON. A wrench or
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, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat or hearing protection must
be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Use clamps or another 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 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 was designed.
Do not use the tool if the power 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 cutting 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
tool’s 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.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by
qualified personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in risk of injury.
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 instructions
may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
