_ib _j/_ WARNING: Read and
understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WORK AREA
PERSONALSAFETY
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
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.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Double insulated tools are equipped with
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized
extension cord 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. 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
conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
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 outside, use
an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A"
or "W." These cords are rated for outdoor
use and reduce the risk of electdc shock.
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 inattention
while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
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.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch
is off before plugging in. Carrying tools
with your finger on the switch or
plugging in tools with the switch on
invites accidents.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
Usa safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOLUSEAND CARE
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.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool 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. A tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
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.
