GENERAL SAFETY RULES
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. DO NOT FORCE THE POWER TOOL. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
2. DO NOT USE THE POWER TOOL IF THE SWITCH
DOES NOT TURN IT ON AND OFF. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
3. DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE POWER SOURCE
AND/OR THE BATTERY PACK FROM THE POWER TOOL
BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS, CHANGING AC-
CESSORIES, OR STORING POWER TOOLS. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
4. STORE IDLE POWER TOOLS OUT OF THE REACH
OF CHILDREN AND DO NOT ALLOW PERSONS UNFA-
MILIAR WITH THE POWER TOOL OR THESE INSTRUC-
TIONS TO OPERATE THE POWER TOOL. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. MAINTAIN POWER TOOLS. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s opera-
tion. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
6. USE THE POWER TOOL, ACCESSORIES AND TOOL
BITS ETC. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUC-
TIONS, taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
7. USE CLAMPS TO SECURE YOUR WORKPIECE TO A
STABLE SURFACE. Holding a workpiece by hand or us-
ing your body to support it may lead to loss of control.
8. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities may contain
chemicals, including lead, known to the State of Califor-
nia to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other
masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your ex-
posure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area
with approved safety equipment such as dust masks
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per-
son using only identical replacement parts. This will en-
sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
