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 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.
•
DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be
caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recom-
mended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
•
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
safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing acces-
sories. 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.
•
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to
see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning
it on.
•
AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don't carry tool with finger on switch.
Be sure 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.

OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only
extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not oper-
ate tool when you are tired.
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 properly repaired or replaced by an authorized ser-
vice center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual.
Have defective switches replaced by authorized service center. Do not use
tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
CAUTION: When drilling or driving into walls, floors or wherever live electri-
cal wires may be encountered, DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE
TOOL! Hold the tool only by insulated grasping surfaces to prevent electric
shock if you drill or drive into a live wire.
