GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work area
1Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2Do 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.
3Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
4a Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
4b Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation 
eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
5Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
6Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
7Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
8When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked ”W-
A” or ”W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
9Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use 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.
10Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
11Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
12Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
13Do not overreach. Stand on both feet an keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
14Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask,
Tool use and care
15 Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
16 Do not force 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.
17Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
18Disconnect 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.
19Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
