SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Work area
1.
Keep your work area clean and well lit
. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Distractions can cause you to lose control
Electrical safety
1.
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 electricity away from the
user.
2.
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.
3.
Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
4.
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.
5.
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.
2.
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.
3.
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.
4.
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.
5.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enable better control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
