WARNING

For your own safety, read and understand all warnings
and operating instructions before using any tool or
equipment.

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

Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal
injury. 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.

• Nonslip protective footwear is recommended. Wear
protective hair covering to contain logn hair.

• Wear eye and hearing protection. Always use safety
glasses. Eye protection equipment should comply with
ANSI Z87.1 standards. Hearing equipment should
comply with ANSI S3.19 standards.

• 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 medications that
cause drowsiness.

WORK AREA PREPARATION

• Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas and
benches invite accidents.

• Work area should be properly lighted.

• Do not use the machine in a dangerous environment.
The use of power tools in damp or wet locations or in
rain can cause shock or electrocution.

• Three-prong plug should be plugged directly into
properly grounded, three-prong receptacle.

• Use the proper extension cord. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition and should have a
grounding prong and the three wires of
extension cord should be of the correct gauge.

• Keep children and visitors away. Your shop is a poten­ tially dangerous environment. Children and visitors can
be injured.

• Make your workshop childproof with padlocks, master
switches or remove switch keys to prevent any uninten­ tional use of power tools.

TOOL MAINTENANCE

• Turn the machine "OFF", and disconnect the machine
from the power source prior to inspection.

• Maintain all tools and machines in peak condition. Keep
tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.

• Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.

• Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding, breakage, mounting and any
other condition that may affect tool's operation.

• Poorly maintained tools and machines can further
damage the tool or machine and/or cause injury.

• A guard or any other part that is damaged should be
repaired or replaced. Do not perform makeshift repairs.

TOOL OPERATION

• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the tool is in
the “OFF” position before plugging in.

• Use the right tool for your job. Do not force your
tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.

• Disconnect tool when changing parts.

• Don't force the workpiece on the machine. Damage to
the machine and/or injury may result.

• Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power off
