GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works.
SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions may result in electric shock, fire and serious injury. To avoid mistakes and serious injury, do not
plug in your tool until the following steps have been read and understood.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. Do not work on floor surfaces that
are slippery with sawdust or wax. Keep the ground clear of tripping hazards.
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 at a safe distance from the work area. Never allow children or pets near the tool.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.
2. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Modified plugs with non-matching
outlets will increase the risk of electric shock.
3. Check all power supplies periodically. Do not use defective cords. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry (rings, watches, etc.) when operating the tool. Inappropriate clothing and items can get caught in moving parts and draw you in. Always wear non-slip footwear and
tie back long hair.
3. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear safety goggles at all times that comply with ANSI Z87.1. Use
ear protection such as plugs or muffs during extended periods of operation. Wear work gloves to protect your
hands. Wear a face mask or dust mask to fight the dust.
4. Keep proper footing and balance at all times and do not overreach when operating the power tool.
WARNING: Dust generated from certain materials can be hazardous to your health. Always operate
the tool in a well-ventilated area and wear a dust mask. Use dust collection systems when processing
wood and plastics. Dust extractors or dust bags must not be connected when processing metals.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Avoid accidental start-ups. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting the plug to
a power source or carrying the tool.
2. Check power tool for damaged parts. Check for misalignment of moving parts, jamming, breakage, improper
mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn ON/OFF. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced before use.
3. Do not force the tool to do a job for which it was not designed. Always use the correct tool/accessory for the
job and follow instructions to prevent a hazardous situation.
4. Never stand on the tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped over or if parts of the tool are unintentionally contacted.
5. Remove adjustment tools. Always make sure all adjustment tools or wrenches are removed from the tool
before turning on the power tool.
6. Keep guards in place and in working order before operating the tool. All protection and safety devices must
be in place after completing repair and maintenance procedures.
7. Never leave a running tool unattended. Do not leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.
POWER TOOL MAINTENANCE
1. Always disconnect the power cord plug from the electrical outlet when making adjustments, changing parts,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
2. Maintain power tools properly. Safely store power tools out of the reach of children. Always keep tools clean
and in good working order. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
SERVICING
Use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other part can cause personal injury and damage to the tool.
Only have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may contain
chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
• 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 with approved safety equipment such as dust masks
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, where two systems of insulation
are provided. This eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed
metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.
Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
WARNING: The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from electric shock resulting from a break in the tool’s internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid
electrical shock.
1. REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and
should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest bringing the product to you
nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.
2. POLARIZED PLUGS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has 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 proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
3. SERVICE AND REPAIR. To avoid danger, electrical appliances must only be repaired by qualified service
technician using original replacement parts; otherwise this may result in considerable damage to the user.
WARNING: To avoid electrocution, do not use in wet or damp areas or expose to rain.
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
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. The table below
shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a
heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
AMPERAGE
1.4A 18 gauge 18 gauge 16 gauge 14 gauge
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp/wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should be protected with a 15A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is
in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate.
Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
