Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Double Insulation
Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate layers of electrical
insulation or one double thickness of insulation between you and the tool’s electrical
system. Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a
result, your tool is equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to use extension
cords without concern for maintaining a ground connection.
NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when
operating this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting
from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
Repair or replace damaged cords.
Polarized Plugs
Polarized plugs (one blade is wider than the other) are used on equipment to reduce the
risk of electric shock. When provided, this plug will fit in the 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.
Safety Instructions For All Tools
• KEEP GUARD IN PLACE and in working order.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking
to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from spindle before
turning tool on.
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite
accidents.
• DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in
damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance
from work area.
• MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by
removing starter keys.
• DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and be safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it
was not designed.
• WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry to get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses,
they are NOT safety glasses.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or vise when you cannot secure the
workpiece on the table and against the fence by hand or when your hand
will be dangerously close to the blade (within 6”).
• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and
safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
• DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories such
as blades, bits, cutters, etc.
• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch
is in OFF position before plugging in.
• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the instruction manual
for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may
cause risk of injury to persons.
• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped
or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or
other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended function—check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced. Do not
use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF.
Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• DO NOT OPERATE ELECTRIC TOOLS NEAR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS
OR IN GASEOUS OR EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES. Motors in these
tools may spark and ignite fumes.
• EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
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 following table
shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.
