WARNING!
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
1. Work Area
a) Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep bystanders, children, and
visitors away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control. Protect others in the work area
from debris such as chips and sparks.
Provide barriers or shields as needed.
2. Electric Safety
a) Double Insulated tools are equipped
with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other.) This power 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 three wire grounded
power cord and grounded power supply
system.
b) 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.
c) Don't expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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.
e) When operating a power tool outside,
use an outdoor extension cord marked
"W-A" or "W". These cords are rated
for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock.

3. Personal Safety
4. Tool Use and Care
a) Stay alert, watch what you are
doing, and use common 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.
b) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. 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.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Be sure
switch is off before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in tools with the switch
on invites accidents.
d) Remove adjusting keys or switches
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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
f) Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
a) Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the work piece to
a stable platform. Holding the work by
hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
b) Do not force tool. Use the correct tool
for your application. The correct tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it is designed.
c) 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.
