GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions.
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 atmo-
spheres, 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
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet prop-
erly 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
adapter 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 electricity away from the user.
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.
Do not 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
outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W.”
These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
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.
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 switches 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 better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
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 appli-
cation.
The correct tool will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and 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.
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 accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when
used on another tool.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the “Maintenance”
section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a
risk of electric shock or injury.
