GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read this owner's manual completely and make sure you understand all of its
safety guidelines.
1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS & WRENCHES. Before turning on the power tool,
make sure the keys and adjusting wrenches have been removed.
3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
4. ALWAYS REMAIN ALERT WHEN THE TOOL IS IN USE. Inattention on the part of
the operator may lead to serious injury.
5. DON'T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp or
wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lit.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should remain at a safe distance from work
area.
7. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with padlocks, master switches or by removing
starter keys.
8. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed.
9. USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. 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. Table (see Table 1) shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
cord.
10. DON'T FORCE THE TOOL. It has been designed to operate at maximum safety
and performance levels.
11. DO NOT FORCE THE MATERIAL BEING CUT. Always let the tool cut at its own
speed.
12. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, rings,
bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip foot wear
is recommended. Wear protective hair covering if you have long hair.
13. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask for commercial
cutting operations. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact-resistant lenses, they
are NOT safety glasses.
