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.
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 atmo-
■■
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools 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 polar-
■■
ized 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 insulation 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.
■■
■ Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to 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 inatten-
tion 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 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.
■■
■ Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
■■
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
■■
■ Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
■■
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
TOOL USE AND CARE
■■
■ Use clamps or other 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 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 measures
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.
■ Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, or any strong solvents to clean your
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of
control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
SERVICE
■■
■ Tool service must be performed only by qualified
■■
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
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
■■
■ Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tools may contact
■■
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the cutting tool “live” and
shock the operator.
■■
■ Make sure your extension cord is in good condi-
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
■■
■ 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 eyeglasses
■■
have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT
safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
■■
■ Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
■■
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce 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 authorized service
center. Constantly stay aware of cord location.
Following 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. Follow-
ing this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
■■
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
14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet
or less in length. A cord exceeding 50 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
■■
routing. 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.

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.
