General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

Work Area Safety

►► Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark work areas invite accidents.

►► Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power

tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

►► Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

►► Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

►► Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

►► Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

►► Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pull- ing, or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

►► When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

►► If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

►► Never use an extension cord that is damaged, including cuts, exposed wires, or bent/missing prongs. Damaged extension cords increase the risk of fire or electric shock.

►► Use only extension cords rated for the purpose.

►► Use only extension cords rated for the amperage of this tool and the length of the cord. Using too small of an extension cord can cause the cord to overheat.

Extension Cord Ratings

Cord Length	Size (AWG)
<50 Ft.	14
50-100 Ft.	12
>100 Ft.	Not recommended

Personal Safety

►► 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.

►► Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye pro- tection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appro- priate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

►► Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source, picking up, or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

►► Remove adjusting key or wrench before turning the power

tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

►► Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

►► Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

►► If devices are provided for the connection of dust extrac- tion and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

►► Always wear safety glasses complying with ANSI Z87.1.

Ordinary glasses are not proper protection.

Power Tool Use and Care

►► Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

►► Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power 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 preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

►► Store idle tools out of reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions

to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

►► Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

►► Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

►► Use the power tool, accessories, and tool bits etc. in accor- dance with these instructions, taking into account the working
