4. 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, all, sharp edges or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
5. 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.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is in the OFF before
plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools
that have the switch ON invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6. 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.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage 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.
8. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for
your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk
of injury when used on another tool.
