SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
[] Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
[] Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo- spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools may create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
[] Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
[] Double insulated tools are equipped with a polar- ized 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
[] Avoid 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.
[] Don'texpose 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 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.
[] When operating a power tool outside, use an out- door extension cord marked
Personal Safety
[] Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com- mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use 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.
[] Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
[] Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off be- fore plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
[] Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the 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. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
[] Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask,
Tool Use and Care
[] Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Hold- ing the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
[] Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your ap- plication. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
[] Do 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.
[] Disconnect the plug from 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 the reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
[] Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
[] Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
[] Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazard- ous when used on another tool.
Service
[] Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance per- formed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
