• 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 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. Do not use tool if switch

does not turn it on and off.

• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN

POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to a

complete stop.

• USE PROPER 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.
