• Unroll completely the extension cord to prevent potential
overheating.
• Double check the power outlet voltage matches
the rated voltage described in the tool nameplate.
• Remove from the workplace all the
rags, clothes, cables, ropes or any object that could get
caught in the tool’s blades.
• Remove nails, screws or any object
from the workpiece. These materials would damage the
blades and the tool and represent a risk for your safety.
• Before starting any job, double check
the blades fixing screws are perfectly tight.
• Before operating the tool, turn it ON and let it run for a
few moments. Check if there are vibrations indicating a
poor setting or an unbalanced blade.

Before Operating the Tool
• When finishing operating the tool, turn it OFF and activate the rest support turning it downwards on top of a wood block,
so that the blades are not making contact with any type of materials.
• Before trying to carry out adjustments, turn the machine OFF and wait for the blades to stop completely.
• Never put your finger into the shavings discharge orifice. To remove excess of shavings, turn OFF and
disconnect the tool. Use a stick to remove the shavings.
• When necessary, replace both blades at the same time. Otherwise, the resulting imbalance will cause vibrations and will
shorten the useful life of the blades and the tool. Handle blades with extreme caution!
After Operating the Tool
• When possible, use a dust extraction system.
• When operating the tool, hold it only
by the handle and the insulated parts. In the event of
making contact with a hidden cable in the tool, the
exposed metallic parts may pass a discharge to the
operator.
• Hold the tool firmly using both hands.
• Keep your hands away from the
rotating parts.
• Double check the blades are not
making contact with the work piece when turning ON the
machine.
• Before cutting, wait until the blades reach the maximum
speed.
• Work with the machine setting it at least 8” away from
your face and body.
• Never leave the tool running with no
supervision. Handle the tool only when you can control it
with both hands. Turn it OFF before leaving it aside.
• After long periods of functioning, the tool metallic parts
may be very hot.
