GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY RULES

• READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL AND KNOW
YOUR TOOL. Read and familiarize yourself with
entire instruction manual. Learning the tool's proper
applications, limitations, and specific potential
hazards will greatly minimize the possibility of
accidents and injury. Make sure all users are familiar
with its warnings and instructions before using tool.
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form habit of checking to see that all adjusting keys
and wrenches are removed before starting tool.
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT. Cluttered
or poorly lit work areas, surfaces and benches can
lead to accidents.
• DO NOT USE OR STORE TOOL IN DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENTS. Exposure to rain and damp or
wet locations can result in shock or electrocution,
or damage the tool. Do not operate electric tools
near flammable liquids or in gaseous or explosive
atmospheres. Motors and switches in these tools
may spark and ignite fumes.
• KEEP CHILDREN AND BYSTANDERS AWAY from
work area.
• LOCK TOOLS AND WORK AREA. Use padlocks, and
master switches, or remove and store starter keys to
prevent operation by children and other unauthorized
users.
• DO NOT FORCE TOOL OR WORKPIECE. Operate
tool at intended speed and feed rate for better and
safer operation.
• USE PROPER TOOL. Do not force tool to do a task
for which it was not designed.
• DO NOT ABUSE POWER CORDS. NEVER pull on
cord to disconnect from receptacle, crush cord, or
expose it to heat, oil or sharp objects.
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. If you use an
extension cord, make sure it is in good condition and
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.
See Extension Cord Chart for correct size depending
on cord length and data plate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next smaller gauge number. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
When working outside, make sure extension cord
is rated for outdoor use. Consult power connection
section of this manual for Extension Cord Chart and
power connection safety.
• SECURE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold
the work piece when practical. It is safer than using
your hands and frees both hands to operate tool.
