in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• KEEP GUARDS 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 tool before turning it on.
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches
invite injuries.
• 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 switch-
es, or by removing starter keys.
• DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and 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.
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using and 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.

• WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, neck-
ties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in
moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protec-
tive hair covering to contain long hair.
Air vents often cover mov-
ing parts and should also be avoided.
• ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES which meet the ANSI Z87.1
requirements. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses,
they are not safety glasses.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer
than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
• 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 lubricat-
ing and changing accessories.
• DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing acces-
sories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.
• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make
sure switch is in off position before plugging in.
• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the instruc-
tion manual for recommended accessories. The use of improp-
er 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.
