WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and / or serious injury. When using electric tools,
basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and personal injury. Read the following rules for safe operation before use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE!
1. WORK AREA: Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. 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. Keep bystanders, children, and
visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY: Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never
remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from user.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is
grounded. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electrical shock. 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. 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: 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.
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. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging
in tools that have the switch on invites accidents. Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning tool on. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
4. TOOL USE AND CARE: Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to loss of control. 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 was designed. Do not use tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the tool accidentally. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tools
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
5.SERVICE: Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of
injury. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury
