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.

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
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-

metal screw

cover of grounded

outlet box
