Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of an accidental start up which may cause
personal injury
.
• Store idle tool out of reach of children and other inexperienced persons.
It is dangerous
in the hand of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools with care.
Check for proper alignment and binding of moving parts,
component breaks, and any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. A guard or any
other part that is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center
to avoid risk of personal injury.
• Use recommended accessories.
Using accessories and attachments not recommended by
the manufacturer or intended for use on this type tool may cause damage to the tool or result in
personal injury to the user. Consult the operator’s manual for recommended accessories.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control
.
• Feed the workpiece in the correct direction and speed.
Feed the workpiece into a blade,
cutter, or abrasive surface against the direction of the cutting tool’s direction of rotation only.
Incorrectly feeding the workpiece in the same direction may cause the workpiece to be thrown
out at high speed.
• Never leave the tool running unattended, turn the power off.
Do not leave the tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
WARNING
:
USE OF THIS TOOL CAN GENERATE AND DISBURSE DUST OR OTHER
AIRBORNE PARTICLES, INCLUDING WOOD DUST, CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST AND
ASBESTOS. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in a
well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system
wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory or
other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid
breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with the dust. Allowing dust to get into
your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material.
Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for
dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
SERVICE
•
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
• Service your power tool periodically.
When cleaning a tool, be careful
not to disassemble any
portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched.
EXTENSION CORDS
Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the
power supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension
cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and
possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the required minimum wire
size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example: a
14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. When using more than one
extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire
size required. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate
amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size.
