WARNING! When using electric
tools, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock and personal injury,
including the following.
Read all these instructions before
operating this product and save these
instructions.
For safe operations:
1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas
and benches invite injuries.
2. Consider work area environment. Do
not expose power tools to rain. Do not
use power tools in damp or wet locations.
Keep work area well lit. Do not use
power tools where there is risk to cause
fire or explosion.
3. Guard against electric shock. Avoid
body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces. (e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges,
refrigerators).
4. Keep children and infirm persons
away. Do not let visitors touch the tool
or extension cord. All visitors should be
kept away from work area.
5. Store idle tools. When not in use, tools
should be stored in a dry, high or locked
up place, out of reach of children and
infirm persons.
6. Do not force the tool. It will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it
was intended.
7. Use the right tool. Do not force small
tools or attachments to do the job of a
heavy duty tool. Do not use tools for
purposes not intended.
8. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry; they can be caught
in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-
skid footwear are recommended when
working outdoors. Wear protecting hair
covering to contain long hair.
9. Use eye protection. Also use face or
dust mask if the cutting operation is
dusty.
10. Connect dust extraction equipment. If
devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities
ensure these are connected and properly
used.
11. Do not abuse the cord. Never
carry the tool by the cord or yank it to
disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep
the cord away from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
12. Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to
hold the work. It is safer than using your
hand and it frees both hands to operate

footing and balance at all times.

cutting tools sharp and clean for
better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubrication and

periodically and if damaged, have it
repaired by authorized service center.
Inspect extension cords periodically and
replace, if damaged. Keep handles dry,
clean, and free from oil and grease.

before servicing, and when changing
accessories such as blades, bits and
cutters.

keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from the tool before turning it on.
17. Avoid unintentional starting. Do not
carry a plugged in tool with a finger on
the switch. Ensure switch is off when
plugging in.

cords intended for outdoor use.
