Read ALL Instructions

■KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL - Read operator's manual carefully. Learn its applications and limita- tions as well as the specific potential hazards re- lated to this tool.

■GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK BY PREVENTING BODY CONTACT WITH GROUNDED SURFACES. For example: Pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.

■KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

■KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

■AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tool in damp or wet locations or expose to rain. Keep work area well lit.

■KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All visi- tors should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord.

■STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, high or locked-up place - out of the reach of children.

■DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

■USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attach- ment to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Don't use tool for purpose not intended - for example - Don't use a circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.

■WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing or jewelry to get caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Also, wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and keep it from being drawn into air vents.

■ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.

■PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask if operation is dusty.

■PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing pro- tection during extended periods of operation.

■DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.

■SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. Both hands are needed to operate the tool.

■DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.

■MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp at all times, and clean for best and safest perfor- mance. Follow instructions for lubricating and chang- ing accessories.

■DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing, or when changing attachments, blades, bits, cutters, etc., all tools should be disconnected from power supply.

■REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjust- ing wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

■AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Don't carry plugged-in tools with finger on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.

■MAKE SURE YOUR EXTENSION CORD IS IN GOOD CONDITION. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one 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 12 is recommended for an extension cord 100 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

■OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords in- tended for use outdoors and so marked.

■KEEP BLADES CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback. Also, keep blades properly tightened at all times.

■KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Keep hands away from blades. Do not reach under- neath work while blade is cutting. Do not attempt to remove material while blade is cutting.

■NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.

■INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and if damaged, have repaired by an authorized service center. Stay constantly aware of cord location.

■INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY and replace if damaged.

■KEEP HANDLES DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petro- leum-based products or any strong solvents to clean your tool.
