IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS (FOR ALL TOOLS)
WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock,
and personal injury, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches
invite injuries.
• CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't expose
power tools to rain. Don't use power tools in damp or wet
locations. Keep work area well lit.
• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact
with grounded surfaces; for example, pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerator enclosures.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept away from
work area. Do not 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 A 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 attachment 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. Air vents often
cover moving parts and should also be avoided.

• USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if
operation is dusty.
• DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to
disconnect 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 better and safe 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 OR LOCK OFF TOOLS when not in use, before
servicing, and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters.
• AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don't carry plugged-in
tool with finger on the switch. Be sure the 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. The following table 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.
