6. Disconnect tool from power source before
cleaning, servicing, changing parts/accessor-
ies or when not in use.
7. Protect yourself against electric shocks when
working on electrical equipment. Avoid body
contact with grounded surfaces. There is an
increased chance of electrical shock if your
body is grounded.
8. Do not expose tool to rain or water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
9. Do not disconnect the power cord in place of
using the ON/OFF switch on the tool. This will
prevent an accidental startup when the power
cord is plugged into the power supply.
10. Do not alter any parts of the tool or accessories.
All parts and accessories are designed with
built-in safety features that may be compro-
mised if altered.
11. Make certain the power source conforms to
requirements of your equipment.
12. Do not allow the tool to run without load for an
extended period of time, as this will shorten
its life.
13. Do not cover the air vents. Proper cooling of
the motor is necessary to ensure normal life
of normal life of the tool.
14. Avoid unintentional starting. Ensure the switch

interrupted. The possibility of accidental injury
could occur if the power returns and the unit is
not switched off.
16. Disconnect the power source before installing
or servicing the tool.
17. After making adjustments, make sure that any
adjustment devices are securely tightened.
18. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before
turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool increases
the risk of personal injury.
19. Never force the tool. Excessive pressure could
break the tool, resulting in damage to your
workpiece or serious personal injury. If your tool
runs smoothly under no load, but does not run
smoothly under load, then excessive pressure
is being used.
20. Do not touch an operating motor. Motors can
operate at high temperatures.
21. Only use accessories that are specifically
designed for use with the tool. Ensure the
accessory is tightly installed.
22. Only use an accessory that exceeds the No
Load Speed rating.
23. Do not touch an operating motor. Motors can
operate at high temperatures and can cause
a burn injury.
24. Insert the power cord plug directly to the power
supply whenever possible. Use extension cords
or surge protectors only when the tool's power
cord cannot reach a power supply from the work
area.
25. Do not operate this tool if the power cord is fr-
ayed or damaged as an electric shock may
occur, resulting in personal injury or property
damage.
26. Inspect the tool's power cord for cracks, fraying
or other faults in the insulation or plug before
each use.
27. Discontinue use if a power cord feels more than
comfortably warm while operating the tool.
28. Keep all connections dry and off the ground to
reduce the risk of electric shock. Do not touch
plug with wet hands.
29. Do not allow people, mobile equipment or ve-
hicles to pass over unprotected power cords.
30. This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-
term exposure to vibration may cause tempo-
rary or permanent physical injury, particularly
to the hands, arms and shoulders.
