2. General safety rules
4. Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off
before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger
on the switch or plugging in tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool on.
A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables bet-
ter control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hear-
ing protection must be used for appropriate condi-
tions.
5. Tool Use and Care
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application.
The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use tool if the switch does not turn it on or
off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean.
Properly maintained tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.

injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
2. Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, 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.
3. Electrical Safety
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all codes
and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor
plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
If
the tools should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry elec-
tricity away from the user.
Applicable only to Class I (grounded) 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
Z
eliminates the need for
the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power
supply system.
Applicable only to Class II tools.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an out-
door extension cord marked «W-A» or «W».
These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
