SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS cont.
5
1. ALWAYS use clamps or other practical ways 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.
2. DO NOT force the tool. Use the correct tool and blade for your application. The
correct tool and accessory will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
3. DO NOT use the 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 the 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’s operation. If damaged, have the
tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
8. USE ONLY accessories that are recommended for this tool. Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.

TOOL USE AND CARE SAFETY
1. 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 a polarized outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way.
2. Double insulation eliminates the need for the
three-wire grounded power cord and grounded power
supply system. Applicable only to Class II
(double-insulated) tools.
This tool is a double insulated tool.
WARNING:
Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug when
installing or removing the plug from the outlet.
!
3. BEFORE plugging in the tool, BE SURE that the outlet voltage supplied is within the
voltage marked on the tool’s data plate. DO NOT use “AC only” rated tools with
a DC power supply.

Double insulation DOES NOT take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered workbenches 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 a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
4. Make your workshop childproof with padlocks and master switches. Lock
tools away when not in use.
5. MAKE SURE the work area has ample lighting so you can see the work and that
there are no obstructions that will interfere with safe operation BEFORE using your
power tool.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. KNOW your power tool. Read the operator’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s
applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
2. STAY ALERT, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool.
3. DO NOT use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
4.
DRESS properly. DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry. Pull back long hair. Keep your
hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided.
5. AVOID accidental starting. Be sure switch is in “OFF” position before plugging in.
DO NOT carry tools with your finger on the switch. Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in tools that have the switch in the “ON” position invites accidents.
6. REMOVE adjusting keys or blade wrenches before turning the tool “ON”. A wrench that
is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
7. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
8. ALWAYS SECURE YOUR WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical.
It is safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.
9. USE SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
