lowing. Read all these instructions before attempting to
operate this product and save these instructions.
1. Keep work area clean
Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
2. 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. Don't
use power tools in presence of flammable liquids or
gases.
3. Guard against electric shock
Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces (e. g.
pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators).
4. Keep children away
Do not let visitors contact tool or extenion cord. All visi-
tors should be kept away from work area.
5. Store idle tools
When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, high, or
locked-up place, out of the reach of children.
6. Don't force tool
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was intended.
7. Use right tool
Don't force small tools or attachments to do the job of a
heavy duty tool. Don't use tools for purposes not in-
tended; for example, don't use circular saw for cutting
tree limbs or logs.

caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid
footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

10. Don't abuse cord
Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect it from

spect extension cords periodically and replace if dam-
aged. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.

When not in use, before servicing, and when changing
accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.

ing wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
16. Avoid unintentional starting
Don't carry plugged-in tool with finger on switch. Be
sure switch is off when plugging in.
17. Outdoors use extension cords
When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords
intended for use outdoors and so marked.
18. Stay alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not
operate tool when you are tired.
19. 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 conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be prop-
erly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this in-
struction manual. Have defective switches replaced by
an authorized service center. Do not use tool if switch
does not turn it on and off.
