GENERAL SAFETY RULES

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

n

  KNOW  YOUR  POWER  TOOL. 

Safe  operation  of  this 

power tool requires that you read and understand this 

operator’s manual and all labels affixed to the tool. Learn 

its applications and limitations as well as the potential 

hazards.

n

  GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK

 by preventing 

body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, ra-

diators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.

n

  KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE

 and in good working order. 

Never operate the tool with any guard or cover removed. 

Make sure all guards are operating properly before each 

use.

n

  REMOVE  ADJUSTING  KEYS  AND  WRENCHES. 

Get 

in the habit - before turning on tool - that hex keys and 

adjusting wrenches are removed from tool. 

n

  KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN.

 Cluttered work areas 

and work benches invite accidents. 

DO NOT

 leave tools or 

pieces of wood on the machine while it is in operation.

n

  DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.

 Do 

not  use  power  tools  near  gasoline  or  other  flammable 

liquids, in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. 

Keep the work area well lighted.

n

  KEEP  CHILDREN  AND  VISITORS  AWAY.

  All  visitors 

should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance 

from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension 

cord while operating.

n

  MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF 

with padlocks and 

master switches or by removing starter keys.

n

  DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL 

it will do the job better and 

safer at the rate for which it was designed.

n

  USE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB.

 Do not force 

the tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not 

designed for. Use it only the way it was intended.

n

  USE  THE  PROPER  EXTENSION  CORD.

  Make  sure 

your  extension  cord  is  in  good  condition.  Use  only  a 

cord  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 

gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 

14

 is recommended for an 

extension cord 

25

 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use 

the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the 

heavier the cord.

n

  DRESS PROPERLY.

 Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, 

neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry that could get 
caught and draw you into moving parts. Non-slip foot-
wear  is  recommended.  Wear  protective  covering  over 
long hair.

n

  ALWAYS  WEAR  SAFETY  GLASSES  WITH  SIDE 

SHIELDS.

 Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resis-

tant lenses; they are not safety glasses.

n

  PROTECT YOUR LUNGS.

 Wear a face or dust mask if 

the operation is dusty.

n

  PROTECT  YOUR  HEARING.

  Wear  hearing  protection 

during extended periods of operation.

n

  SECURE WORK.

 Use clamps or a vise to hold the work 

when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and frees 
both hands to operate the tool.

n

  DO NOT OVERREACH.

 Keep proper footing and balance 

at all times.

n

  MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE.

 Keep tools sharp and 

clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions 
for lubricating and changing accessories.

n

  DISCONNECT  ALL  TOOLS.

  When  not  in  use,  before 

servicing, or when changing attachments, all tools should 
be disconnected.

n

  AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING.

 Be sure switch is off 

when plugging in any tool. 

n

  USE  RECOMMENDED  ACCESSORIES.

  Consult  this 

operator’s  manual  for  recommended  accessories.  The 
use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

n

  NEVER STAND ON TOOL.

 Serious injury could occur if the 

tool is tipped or if the bit is unintentionally contacted.

n

  CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. 

Before using the tool, a guard 

or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked 
to determine that it will operate properly and perform its 
intended function. Check for alignment of  moving parts, 
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and 
any other conditions that may affect operation. A guard 
or other part that is damaged must be properly repaired 
or replaced by an authorized service center to avoid risk 
of personal injury.

n

  NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED, TURN 

THE POWER OFF. 

Do not leave tool until it comes to a 

complete stop.

n

  DO NOT ABUSE CORD.

 Never yank the cord to disconnect 

it from the receptacle. Keep the cord from heat, oil, and 
sharp edges. 

n

  KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL AND 

GREASE.

 Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never 

use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or 
any solvents to clean tool.

n

  STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL.

 Watch what 

you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate 
tool when you are tired. Do not rush.

n

  DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT 

ON AND OFF.

 Have defective switches replaced by an 

authorized service center.

n

  ALWAYS TURN SWITCH OFF 

before disconnecting it 

to avoid accidental starting.

WARNING:

Read and understand all instructions. 

Failure 

to follow all instructions listed below, may result 
in  electric  shock,  fire  and/or  serious  personal 
injury.
