SAFETY RULES
WARNING:
For your own safety, read all of the rules
and precautions before operating tool.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
Some dust created
by using power tools contain chemicals known to the
state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
Ǹ
Lead from lead-based paints.
Ǹ
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products.
Ǹ
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lum-
ber.
Your risk from these exposures vary, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and
work with approved safety equipment. Always wear
OSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or
respirator when using such tools.
CAUTION:
Always follow proper operating procedures
as defined in this manual even if you are familiar with
use of this or similar tools. Remember that being care-
less for even a fraction of a second can result in severe
personal injury.
BE PREPARED FOR JOB
Ǹ Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry
which may get caught in moving parts of machine.
Ǹ
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
Ǹ
Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
Ǹ
Wear safety glasses complying with United States
ANSI Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact
resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses.
Ǹ Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is dusty.
Ǹ Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools
when tired, intoxicated or when taking medications
that cause drowsiness.
PREPARE WORK AREA FOR JOB
Ǹ Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas invite
!
accidents.
Ǹ Do not use power tools in dangerous environments.
Ǹ Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Do
not expose power tools to rain.
Ǹ
Work area should be properly lighted.
Ǹ
Proper electrical receptacle should be available for
tool. Three prong plug should be plugged directly
into properly grounded, three-prong receptacle.
Ǹ Extension cords should have a grounding prong and
the three wires of the extension cord should be of
the correct gauge.
Ǹ
Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
Ǹ
Keep children out of workplace. Make workshop child-
proof. Use padlocks, master switches or remove switch
keys to prevent any unintentional use of power tools.
TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED
Ǹ
Always unplug tool prior to inspection.
Ǹ
Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjust-
ing procedures.
Ǹ
Keep tool lubricated and clean for safest operation.
Ǹ
Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to
see that adjusting tools are removed before switch-
ing machine on.
Ǹ Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine
that the guard or other parts will operate properly
and perform their intended function.
Ǹ
Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding, breakage, mounting and any
other condition that may affect a tool’s operation.
Ǹ A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced. Do not perform
makeshift repairs. (Use parts list provided to order
replacement parts.)

Ǹ
Use right tool for job. Do not force tool or attachment
to do a job for which it was not designed.
