PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
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 staring. Be sure the Power Switch is
off before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your
finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in power tools with
the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the
power tool on.
A wrench or a key that is left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to
secure and support the work piece to a stable platform.
Holding the work piece by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your
application.
The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
3. Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not
turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
4. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
6. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools maintained
and clean.
Properly maintained tools are less likely to bind
and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag
damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
1. affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
2. Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
SERVICE
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock
or injury.
