complying with applicable safety standards and, when needed, a face shield. Also use face or dust mask if
operation is dusty. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use a hard hat, hearing protection, gloves,
safety shoes and dust collection systems when specified or required. Safety glasses or the like are available at
extra cost at your local dealer.
• Don't abuse cord. Never carry appliance by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from
heat, oil, and sharp edges.
• Don't overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Disconnect appliances. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply when not in use, before servicing,
and when changing accessories such as blades and the like.
• Avoid unintentional starting. Don't carry plugged-in appliance with finger on switch. Be sure switch is off
when plugging in.
• Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuits or outlets to be used.
Receptacles are available having built in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
• Use of accessories and attachments. The use of any accessory or attachment not recommended for use
with this appliance could be hazardous. Note: refer to the accessory section of this manual for further details.
• Stay alert. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired or impaired.
• 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 manufacturer unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have defective switches
replaced by manufacturer. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
• Do not operate portable electric tools near flammable liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors
in these tools normally spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.
• Outdoor use extension cords. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use
outdoors and so marked.
• 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 gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
