FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY, READ AND UNDERSTAND BEFORE USING,
•
Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite
injuries.
•
Consider work area environment. Don't use power tools in
damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Don't expose
power tools to rain. Do not use tool in presence of flammable
liquids or gases.
•
Keep children away. All visitors should be kept away from
work area. Don't let visitors contact tool or extension cord.
•
Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should be stored in
dry, and high or locked-up place -- out of reach of children.
•
Don't force tool. It will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was intended.
•
Use right tool. Don't force small tool or attachments to do the
job of a heavy-duty tool. Don't use tool for purpose not
intended -- for example -- don't use circular saw for cutting
tree limbs or logs.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They
can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
•
Use safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting oper-
ation is dusty.
•
Don't abuse cord. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to dis-
connect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp
edges.
•
Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer
than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
•
Don't overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
•
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for bet-
ter and safer performance. 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.
•
Disconnect tools. When not in use, before servicing, and
when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters.
•
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form habit of check-
ing to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from
tool before turning it on.
•
Avoid unintentional starting. Don't carry tool with finger on
switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.

Extension cords. 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. Table 1 shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
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 intended for use outdoors and so
marked.
•
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Don't operate tool when you are tired.
•
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the 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 con-
dition that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere
in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced
