that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using.
Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
5.8
Use only accessories that are recommended
by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories
that may be suitable for one tool may become haz-
ardous when used on another tool.
6. Service
6.1
Electric tools or applicances must be serviced
only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury.
6.2
When servicing an electric tool or applicance,
use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the maintenance section of this man-
ual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric
shock or injury.
6.3
Grounding instructions.
This appliance must be
grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for elec-
tric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The
plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
Warning
– Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service
person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided
with the appliance.
This appliance is for use on a normal 120-volt circuit
and has a grounding attachment plug that locks like
the plug illustrated in sketch A in figure “Grounding
methods”. Make sure that the appliance is connected
to an outlet having the same configuration as the
plug. No adaptor should be used with this appliance.

common 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 inat-
tention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
4.2
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, cloth-
ing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in mov-
ing parts.
4.3
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the tool or
electric appliance is switched off before plugging
in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
4.4
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.
4.5
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected situ-
ations.
4.6
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye pro-
tection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat
or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
5. Use and care of the tool or electric appliances
5.1
Use clamps or other practical means to sup-
port and secure the workpiece to a stable plat-
form.
Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
5.2
Do not force the 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.
5.3
Do not use the tool or electric appliances if the
switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool or electric
appliances that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
5.4
Disconnect the plug from the power source be-
fore making any adjustments, changing acces-
sories, or storing the tool or electric appliances.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool or electric appliances accidentally.
5.5
Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
5.6
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.
5.7
Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
