SAVE THESE INSTRUCTmONS
WORK AREA
[] Keep your work area ctean and well Jit. CUuttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
[] Do not operate power tooJs in expJosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
tiquids, gases, or dust. Power tooUsmay create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
[] Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
[] DoubJe insuJated tools are equipped with a
polarized pJug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet onty
one way. If the pJug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the ptug. mfit still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install a poJar-
ized outtet. 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.
[] 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.
[] Don't expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
[] Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the tooJs or pull the pJugfrom an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oH, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
[] When operating a power tool outside, use an out-
door extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
[] Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power toot.
Do not use tooJ while tired or under the infJu-
ence of drugs, alcohoJ, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
[] Dress property. Do not wear Joose clothing or
jewelry. Contain tong hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
Avoid accidentaJ 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.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tooJ on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
[] Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
baJance at aH times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations. Do not use on a ladder or unstable
support.
[] Use safety equipment. AJways wear eye protec-
tion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
[] Use cJamps or other practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stabJe platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
[] Do not force toot. Use the correct toot for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
[] 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.
[] Disconnect the ptug from power source before
making any adjustments, changing accesso-
ries, or storing the tool Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
[] Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
[] Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and cJean. Properly maintained tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
[] Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condi-
tion that may affect the tooJ's operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
[] 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.
