1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(For All Tools)
WARNING: When using Electric Tools, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
2. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't expose power tools to rain.
Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit.
3. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces. For example: pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
4. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept away from work area. Do not
let visitors contact tool or extension cord.
5. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, and high
or locked-up place — out of reach of children.
6. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was intended.
7. 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, for example, don't use circular
saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
8. DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in
moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended when
working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
9. USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dustmask if cutting operation is dusty.
10. DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
11. 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.
12. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
13. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safe
performance. Follow instructions for lubrication and changing accessories.
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.
14. DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing, and when changing
accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters.
15. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see
that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
16. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don't carry plugged-in tool with finger
on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
17. OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only
extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
18. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate
tool when you are tired.
19. 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 othefconditionsthat may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in
this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by authorized service
centers. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
20. 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.
