READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
■ KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read operator's manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
■ GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK by prevent-
ing body contact with grounded surfaces. For example:
Pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
■ KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
■ AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use
power tool in damp or wet locations or expose to rain.
Keep work area well lit.
■ KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All visitors
should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance
from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or
extension cord.
■ STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use tools should be
stored in a dry and high or locked-up place - out of the
reach of children.
■ 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 small tool or attach-
ment to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Don't use tool
for purpose not intended - for example - A circular saw
should never be used for cutting tree limbs or logs.

ing or jewelry that can get caught in tool's moving parts
and cause personal injury. Rubber gloves and nonskid
footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and
keep it from being drawn into nearby air vents.
■ ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eye-
glasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are
NOT safety glasses.
■ PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face mask or dust
mask if operation is dusty.
■ PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection
during extended periods of operation.
■ 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 bal-
ance at all times. Do not use while standing on a ladder
or unstable support.
■ MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp at
all times, and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing acces-
sories.
■ REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from tool before turning it on.
■ NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.
Normal sparking of the motor could ignite flammable
liquids, gases, or fumes.
■ KEEP HANDLES DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM
OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products or any strong solvents to clean your
tool.

common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.
Do not rush.
■ 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 by
an authorized service center unless indicated elsewhere
in this operator's manual.
■ DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT
ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorized service center.
■ DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not operate
tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any
medication.
■ CUTTING INTO ELECTRICAL WIRING IN WALLS
AND FLOORS CAN CAUSE THE BLADE AND METAL
PARTS TO BECOME ELECTRICALLY LIVE. Do not
touch metal parts when cutting into walls and floors;
grasp only the insulated handle(s) provided on the tool.
Make sure hidden electrical wiring, water pipes, and
mechanical hazards are not in the blade path when
cutting into a wall or floor.
■ AVOID CUTTING NAILS. Inspect for and remove all
nails from lumber before cutting.
