GENERAL SAFETY RULES

1 WARNING! Read and understand all instructions.
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
2 Work Area
2.1 Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2.2 Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases, or dust. Power Tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
2.3 Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
3 Electrical Safety
3.1 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 elec-
trically malfunction or break down, grounding provides
a low-resistance path to carry electricity away from the
user.
Applicable only to Class I (grounded) tools.
3.2 Double insulated tools are equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This 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
eliminates the need for the three-wire grounded power
cord and grounded power supply system.
Applicable only to Class II (double insulated) tools.
3.3 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.
3.4 Don't expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
3.5 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.
3.6 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.
4 Personal Safety
4.1 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
when operating power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
4.2 Dress properly. Do not wear lose 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.

4.3 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.
4.4 Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in per-
sonal injury.
4.5 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
4.6 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat
or hearing protection must be used for appropriate con-
ditions.
5 Tool Use and Care
5.1 Use clamps or other practical way 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.
5.2 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.
5.3 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.
5.4 Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
5.5 Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
5.6 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.
5.7 Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained tools.
5.8 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.
6 SERVICE
6.1 Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could result in a
risk of injury.
6.2 When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unau-
thorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instruc-
tions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
