WARNING:

  

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS, CAUTIONS 

AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT.  Failure 
to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or 
serious  personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA SAFETY:

• 

Keep your work area clean and well lit

. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite 

accidents.

• 

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.

• 

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power 
tool

.

 Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• 

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. 

Never modify the plug in any way. Do not 

use any adapter plugs in any earthed (grounded) power tools.  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.

•  Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. 

Water entering a power 

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

•  Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, 

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. 

There is an increased risk of electric shock if 

your body is grounded.

•  Do not abuse the cord. 

Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power 

tool.  Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged cords increase the risk 
of electric shock.

•  When operating a power tool outside, use an extension cord suitable 

for outdoor use. 

These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

•  Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. 

While the tool may 

appear to work. The electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and rate a hazard to 
the operator. 

PERSONAL SAFETY

• 

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.

•  Use safety equipment. 

Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust 

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection for appropriate conditions will reduce 
personal injuries.

•  Dress properly. 

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves 

away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air 
vents may cover moving parts and should be avoided.
