GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failing to follow instructions listed below

may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTURCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

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

2. 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.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating power tools. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

DOUBLE INSULATION TOOLS!

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 the polarized
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the
three wire grounded power cords and grounded power supply system.

1. 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.

2. Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.

3. 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 outdoors, use only outdoor rated extension cords marked

“W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. 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 distraction while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Remove adjusting keys or switches 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.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

1. If a small item is being waxed, use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the
work piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control.

2. Do not force tool. Use the correct bonnet for your application. The correct tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

3. 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.

4. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the tool accidentally.

5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.

6. 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.

7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the tool operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before
using. Poorly maintained tools cause many accidents.

8. 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.
