GENERAL SAFETY RULES
4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and
ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check
with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance
path to carry electricity away from the user.
5. 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. Double insulation eliminates the need for
the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.
6. 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.
7. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
8. 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.
9. 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 electric shock.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning on the
tool. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the
tool may result in personal injury.
14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool
in unexpected situations.
15. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must
be used for appropriate conditions.
16. Use clamps or other practical way 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.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
21. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to
bind and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag
damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired.
22. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age 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.
23. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manu-
facturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
24. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair
personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified per-
sonnel could result in a risk of injury.
25. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts.
Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this
manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches 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 operat-
ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Protect others in the work area from debris such as chips and
sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
