Important SAFETY Information

This symbol is to warn you of potential personal

injury hazards. Please read carefully the notes along side
this warning to avoid possible injury or death.

General Safety Rules

WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the
warnings listed refers to corded or cordless power tools.

Work area safety

Read and Keep This Manual

Electrical safety

Before use, ensure that the power outlet you are using matches the plug on your power
tool and that the voltage of the outlet matches that of your power tool.

Only use grounded extension cords with power tools fitted with 3 pin plugs and if using
outdoors ensure any extension cord is suitable for outdoor use.

Always try to avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as radiators, cooking
ranges and any other fixed appliance with metal surfaces.

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or 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 create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.

Please read carefully all instructions within this manual. Failure to follow all safety
warnings can result in serious personal injury. The term “Power Tool” in all of the
following warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) or battery operated (co­rdless) power tool

attached to a moving part can result in injury.

Power tool use and care.

Service

Keep your power tool clean and well serviced at all times.
Never adjust or service any power tool before disconnecting from the mains electricity
supply.
Always use the correct tool for the job.
Never force the tool to work harder than it is designed to do.
Never use your power tool with broken parts such as switches, guide fences or leg
stands.
ALWAYS keep your power tools away from children.
Keep cutting tools sharp to ensure less stress on the motor.
Only have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair agent using manufacturers
recommended parts.

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical repla­cement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful
not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or
pinched or safety guard return springs may be improperly mounted. Certain cleaning
agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.

4

Do not expose your power tool to wet or damp conditions and NEVER use in rain.
Check regularly the power cord of your machine and any extension cord that you
are using for damage.

Do not carry or pull the machine with the power cord.
Ensure the cord is clear from hot surfaces, oil or sharp objects.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS & WRENCHES. Before turning on the power tool, make
sure the keys and adjusting wrenches have been removed.

3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

4. ALWAYS REMAIN ALERT WHEN THE TOOL IS IN USE. Inattention on the part of
the operator may lead to serious injury.

5. DON’T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or
wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lit.

6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should remain at a safe distance from work area.

7. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with padlocks, master switches or by removing
starter keys.

8. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed.

9. USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table (see Table 1) shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

10. DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It has been designed to operate at maximum safety
and performance levels.

11. DO NOT FORCE THE MATERIAL BEING CUT. Always let the tool cut at its own speed.

12. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, rings, bracelets
or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip foot wear is reco­ mmended. Wear protective hair covering if you have long hair.

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.

A) Wear eye protection.
B) Keep hands out of the path of blades/cutters.
C) Do not operate tool without guards in place.
D) Do not perform any operation freehand.
E) Never reach around cutting tools.
F) Turn off tool and wait for blade/cutter to stop before moving workpiece or changing
settings.
G) Disconnect power(or unplug tool) before changing blade/cutter or servicing.

WARNING: For your own safety read Instruction Manual before operating your power
tool.

13. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask for commercial
cutting operations. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact-resistant lenses, they
are NOT safety glasses.

14. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise instead of your hand to hold work when
practical. This safety precaution allows for proper tool operation using both hands.

15. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

16. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools clean and in good working condition
for maximum safety performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.

17. DISCONNECT TOOLS BEFORE SERVICING – when changing accessories, such
as blades, bits, cutters, etc.

18. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in OFF
position before plugging in.

19. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s manual for recom­ mended accessories. The use of improper accessories may increase risk of injury.

20. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE CORRECT TOOL for the job you are doing.

21. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the
cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

22. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, damaged part(s), (i.e.,
guard) 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 condition that may affect the tools
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced.

23. Replace damaged blades/cutters grinding wheels immediately. DO NOT USE
DAMAGED BLADES/CUTTERS GRINDER WHEE . They may cause bodily injury.

24. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into the blade/cutter against the direction of
rotation of the blade/cutter only.

25. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. Turn power off. Don’t leave tool
until it comes to a complete stop.

26. 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 elec­ trician 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.

Grounding Tools
Electrical Powered Connections

Any electric powered tool that is marked Ground Required must have fitted a three
wired power cord. The main importance of this is the green wire within the cord, this
green wire must at all times be connected to the grounding prong of the plug. This
prong must never be removed or discarded. The green wire Must NEVER be conn­ected to any other prong. The Three prong plug must only be connected to the power
supply through a three prong power outlet.
The Illustration above shows a three prong plug and outlet.

3 Prong Plug and Outlet

Only use qualified repair agents to service this power tool.
Only use qualified electrician to repair any damaged wiring.
NEVER remove the grounding prong from the power tool or extension cord.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit and has a grounding plug similar to
the plug illustrated in Table1. Only connect the product to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this product.

Following this guide will greatly reduce your risk of electric shock or injury.

Grounding Instructions

Any electric powered tool that is marked Ground Required must be grounded In the event
of a malfunction or breakdown, groundingprovides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Outlets for 2-Prong Plug

Power Extension Cords

Any electric powered tool that is marked Double insulated only need a two prong
connection and will be perfectly safe to operate.

These tools do not require grounding as they are fitted with an additional insulation
system internally that complies with all relevant electrical safety standards.

Unlike the three prong tools these tools CAN be connected through outlets suitable
for two prong or three prong plugs.

The Illustration above shows the outlets that this type of tool can be connected to.

Double Insulated Power Tools
Plug and outlet, 2 prong

Any power tool marked ‘Grounding required’ MUST only be connected to a three wire
extension cord. Only double insulated tools can be connected to two wire cords.
When using any extension cord the machine will suffer a power reduction due to the
drop in voltage caused by the length of the cord. This can be partially offset by selecting
extension cords with lower gauge wire.
