READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read the owner's manual carefully. Learn its
applications and limitations as well as the
specific potential hazards.
GROUND ALL TOOLS (UNLESS DOUBLE
INSULATED)
If tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor
cord and a 3-prong grounding type plug to fit
the proper grounding type receptacle. The
green conductor in the cord is the grounding
wire. NEVER connect the green wire to a live
terminal.
KEEP AWAY FROM HAZARDOUS
MATERIALS
Normal sparking of the motor could ignite
fumes, flammable liquids, or combustibles.
PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST PERSONAL
INJURY
DO NOT operate any tool while under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
DRESS FOR SAFETY
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or
jewelry, as these items can get caught and
draw you into moving parts. ALWAYS wear
non-slip footwear. Tie back long hair. Roll long
sleeves above the elbow.
WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES
Wear safety goggles (must comply with ANSI
Z87.1) at ALL times. Also, use face or dust
mask if cutting operation is dusty, and use ear
protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended
periods of operation.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING
Make sure all switches are in "OFF" position
before plugging in.
Safety items throughout this manual are labeled with WARNING and CAUTION.
NEVER STAND ON TOOL

or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.

disconnect from receptacle. Protect cord from
heat, oil, and sharp edges. For temporary
outdoor operation, use extension cords
intended for outdoor use.
AVOID A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT
DO NOT use power tools in damp or wet
locations or expose them to rain. Keep work
area well lit and provide an adequate
surrounding work space.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other
part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to ensure 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.
CHECK DIRECTION OF FEED
Feed work into a blade or cutter against the
direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
