When servicing a power tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Main- tenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual care- fully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this power tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

Inspect power tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have repaired at your nearest Authorized Service Cen- ter. Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

Check damaged parts. Before further use of the power tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate

properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center. Following this rule will reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.

Make sure your extension cord is in good condi- tion. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recom- mended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before using this power tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized service center to avoid risk.
