•  Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp 

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control

•  Feed the work piece in the correct direction and speed. 

Feed the work 

piece into a blade, cutter, or abrasive surface against the direction of the cutting tool’s direction 
of rotation only. Incorrectly feeding the work piece in the same direction may cause the work 
piece to be thrown out at high speed. 

•  Never leave the tool running unattended, turn the power off. 

Do not 

leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.

•  Never start the power tool when any rotating component is in 

contact with the work piece.

 

 

WARNING:

 

 USE OF THIS TOOL CAN GENERATE AND DISBURSE DUST 

OR OTHER AIRBORNE PARTICLES, INCLUDING WOOD DUST, CRYSTALLINE 
SILICA DUST AND ASBESTOS.  Direct particles away from face and body.  
Always operate tool in a well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust 
removal.  Use dust collection system wherever possible.  Exposure to the dust 
may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis 
(a serious lung disease), cancer, and death.  Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid 
prolonged contact with the dust.  Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, 
or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material.  Always use 
properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for 
dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.

SERVICE

• 

Have your power tool Serviced by a qualified repair person using 
only identical replacement parts. 

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool 

is maintained. 

•  Service your power tool periodically.  

When cleaning a tool, be careful not to 

disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched.

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.

EXTENSION CORDS

Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord

.

  Double insulated tools can 

use either a two or three wire extension cord.  As the distance from the power supply outlet increases, 
you must use a heavier gauge extension cord.  Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire 
causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.  Refer to the 
table shown below to determine the required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord.  For example: a 
14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord.  When using more than one extension 
cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.  
If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the 
sum to determine the required minimum wire size.
