WARNING:

Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Work Area

■ Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

■ Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools may 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.

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 outlet 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 change the plug in any way . Double insu-

lation eliminates the need for the three-wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

■ 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.

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.

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 inat-

tention 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 wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left at-

tached 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 en-

ables better control of the tool in unexpected situations. Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.

■ Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or

hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Tool Use and Care

■ Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Hold-

ing 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 power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety mea-

sures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

■ Store idle tools out of the 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 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 repair personnel. Service or maintenance per-

formed by unqualified personnel could result in a 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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND/OR SYMBOLS

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the

operator.

Additional Rules For Safe Operation

■ Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual

carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk

of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

■ Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eye-

glasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will re-

duce the risk of serious personal injury.

■ Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Following this rule will re-

duce the risk of serious personal injury.

■ Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation. Following

this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

■ Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have repaired at your nearest Factory Service Center or other Authorized Service Organization. Constantly stay aware of cord location. Follow-

ing this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

■ Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will 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. Following this rule will

reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.

■ Do not abuse cord. Never carry the tool by the cord or yank it to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Following this rule will reduce the risk of elec-

tric shock or fire.

■ Make sure your extension cord is in good condi-

tion. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire gage size (A.W .G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an extension cord 100 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause a

drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

■ Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before drilling. Following this rule will reduce the risk

of serious personal injury.

■ Drugs, alcohol, medication. Do not operate tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication. Following this rule will reduce the

risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury .

■ Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.

WARNING:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known 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, 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.
