General Safety Rules

Tool Use

DON’T FORCE TOOL

It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

USE THE RIGHT TOOL

Don’t force a small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Don’t used tool for purpose not intended—for example, don’t use a circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.

SECURE WORK

Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.

NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED

Turn power off. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

Tool Care

DO NOT ALTER OR MISUSE TOOL

These tools are precision built. Any alteration or mod- ification not specified is misuse and may result in dan- gerous conditions.

AVOID GASEOUS AREAS

Do not operate electric tools in a gaseous or explo- sive atmosphere. Motors in these tools normally spark, and may result in a dangerous condition.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE

Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest per- formance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

Before connecting the tool to a power ! WARNING source (receptacle, outlet, etc.), be

sure voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
