■ Before changing the setup, removing cover,
guards or blades,
UNPLUG
the tool and be
sure the switch is in the
“OFF”
position.
■ Always turn off tool before disconnecting it
to avoid accidental starting when reconnect-
ing to a power source.
■ Stay alert and exercise control. Watch what
you are doing and use common sense.
DO
NOT
operate tool when tired.
DO NOT RUSH!
■ Make sure work area has ample lighting
to see the work and that no obstructions
will interfere with safe operation
BEFORE
performing any work using this tool.
■ Save the instructions.
Refer to them
frequently and use them to instruct other
users. If you loan someone this tool, loan him
or her these instructions also.
■ Use proper extension cord.
Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. A wire gauge size ( A.W.G.) of
at least 16 is recommended for an extension
cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
Gauge number, the heavier the cord.
■ Don’t abuse cord.
Never carry tool by cord
or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep
cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Use clamps or other practical ways to
secure and support the work piece 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 correct tool for
application. The correct tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn
it “ON” or “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 preventative 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 main-
tained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control. Any
alteration or modification is a misuse and may
result in a dangerous condition.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and
other conditions that may affect the tool
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using.
Poorly maintained
tools cause many accidents. Develop a
periodic maintenance schedule for your tool.
Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for
your model.
Accessories that are suitable for
one tool, may become hazardous when used
on another tool.
