General Safety Instructions

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
Safety Warnings: Double Insulation Double
insulated tools are constructed throughout with two
separate layers of electrical insulation or one
double thickness of insulation between you and the tool's
electrical system. Tools built with this insulation system are
not intended to be grounded. As a result, your tool is
equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to use
extension cords without concern for maintaining a ground
connection.
NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal
safety precautions when operating this tool. The insulation
system is for added protection against injury resulting from a
possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
Replacement parts: When servicing all tools, USE
IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repair or replace
damaged cords.
Safety Instructions: Polarized Plugs
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
equipment has 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
into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install the proper utlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.
Safety Instructions For All Tools
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from spindle before turning tool
on.
(Original instructions)
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
• DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't
use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose
them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a
safe distance from work area.
• MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master
switches, or by removing starter keys.
• DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and be
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do
a job for which it was not designed.
• WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing, gloves,
neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
• ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses, they are
NOT safety glasses.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or vise when you cannot
secure the workpiece on the table and against the fence
by hand or when your hand will be dangerously close to
the blade (within 6").
• DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and
clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
• DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing
accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.
• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.
Make sure switch is in OFF position before plugging in.
• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the
instruction manual for recommended accessories. The
use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to
persons.
• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if
the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally
contacted.
• 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
