SERVICE
•
Tool service must be performed only by quali-
fied repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could result in
a risk of injury.
•
When servicing a tool, use only identical re-
placement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or
injury.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and
shock the operator.
ADDITIONAL
RULES
FOR SAFE OPERATION
•
Know your power tool. Read operator's manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations,
as well as the specific potential hazards related
to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
•
Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eye-
glasses have only impact-resistant
lenses; they
are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
•
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if
the operation is dusty. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
•
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection
during extended periods of operation. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
•
Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged,
have repaired at your nearest authorized ser-
vice center. Constantly stay aware of cord
location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock or fire.
•
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 re-
placed by an authorized service center. Follow-
ing this rule will reduce the risk of shock, fire, or
serious injury.
•
Do not abuse cord. Never carry the tool by the
cord or yank it to disconnect it from the recep-
tacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp
edges. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock or fire.
•
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. A wire gage size
(A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended
for an
extension cord 100 feet or less in length. A cord
exceeding 100 feet is not recommended.
If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
•
Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber
before routing. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
•
Drugs, alcohol, medication.
Do not operate tool
while under the influence
of drugs, alcohol,
or
any medication.
Following this rule will reduce the
risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
•
Save these instructions.
Refer to them fre-
quently and use them to instruct
others who
may use this tool. If you loan someone
this tool,
loan them these instructions
also.
A
WARNING:
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known
to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive
harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead*based paints,
• crystalline
silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
