WARNING
For your own safety, read and understand all warnings
and operating instructions before using any tool or
equipment.
WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities contains 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-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures vary, 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. Always wear OSHA/
NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator
when using such tools.
WARNING
Always follow proper operating procedures as defined in
this manual even if you are familiar with the use of this or
similar tools. Remember that being careless for even a
fraction of a second can result in severe personal injury.
WORK PREPARATION
• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which
may get caught in moving parts of the tool.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
• Wear safety glasses complying with United States ANSI
Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant
lenses. They are NOT safety glasses.
• Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is dusty.
• Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools
when tired, intoxicated or when taking medication that
cause drowsiness.
WORK AREA PREPARATION
• Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas invite
accidents.
• Do not use power tools in dangerous environments. Do
not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Do not
expose power tools to rain.
• Work area should be properly lit.
• Ground all tools. Proper electrical receptacle should
1
SAFETY RULES
be available for tool. Three-prong plug should be
plugged directly into properly grounded, three-prong
receptacle. If an adapter is used to accomodate a
two-prong receptacle, the adapter lug MUST be to a
known ground.
• Extension cords should have a grounding prong and
the three wires of the extension cord should be of the
correct gauge.
• Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
• Keep children out of the work area. Ensure your work
shop is child-proof. Use padlocks, master switches or
remove switch keys to prevent any unintentional use of
power tools.
TOOL MAINTENANCE
• Always unplug tool prior to inspection.
• Consult manual for specific maintaining and
adjusting procedures.
• Keep tool lubricated and clean for a safe operation.
• Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to
see adjusting tools or accessories are removed before
switching tool on.
• Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine that
guard or other parts will operate properly and perform
their intended function.
• Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding, breakage, mounting and any
other condition that may affect tool’s operation.
• A guard or any other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced. Do not perform
makeshift repairs.
TOOL OPERATION
• Use the right tool for your job. Do not force your tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the tool is in
the “OFF" position before plugging in.
• Never leave tool running unattended.
• Know your tool. Learn the tool’s operation, application
and specific limitations before using it.
CAUTION
Think safety! Safety is a combination of operator common
sense and alertness at all times when tool is being used.
WARNING
Do not attempt to operate tool until it is completely
assembled according to the instructions.
