GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works. SAVE THESE SAFE-

TY INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: To avoid mistakes and serious injury, do not plug

in your tool until the following steps have been read and understood.

1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction manual. LEARN the tool’s applications, limitations, and
possible hazards.

2. AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. Do not use power tools in wet or damp areas or expose them to rain.
Keep work areas well lit.

3. DO NOT use power tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.

4. ALWAYS keep your work area clean, uncluttered, and well lit. DO NOT work on floor surfaces that are slippery
with sawdust or wax.

5. KEEP BYSTANDERS AT A SAFE DISTANCE from the work area, especially when the tool is operating.
NEVER allow children or pets near the tool.

6. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to do a job for which it was not designed.

7. DRESS FOR SAFETY. 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.

8. WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK to fight the dust produced by sanding operations.

WARNING: Dust generated from certain materials can be hazardous to
your health. Always operate the tool in a well-ventilated area and provide
for proper dust removal. Use dust collection systems whenever possible.

9. ALWAYS remove the power cord plug from the electrical outlet when making adjustments, changing parts,
cleaning, or working on the tool.

10. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN WORKING ORDER.

11. AVOID ACCIDENTAL START-UPS. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging in
the power cord.

12. REMOVE ADJUSTMENT TOOLS. Always make sure all adjustment tools are removed from the saw before
turning it on.

13. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to OFF. Do not leave the
tool until it has come to a complete stop.

14. NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips or is accidentally hit. DO NOT store
anything above or near the tool.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

15. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant rubber-soled foot­wear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris.

16. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order. Follow instruc­tions for lubricating and changing accessories.

17. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for alignment of moving parts, jamming, breakage, improper
mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced before use.

18. CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP. Use padlocks and master switches and ALWAYS remove starter keys.

19. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication that may affect your
ability to properly use the tool.

20. USE SAFETY GOGGLES AT ALL TIMES that comply with ANSI Z87.1. Normal safety glasses only have
impact resistant lenses and are not designed for safety. Wear a face or dust mask when working in a dusty environ­ment. Use ear protection such as plugs or muffs during extended periods of operation.
