SAVE THESE
mNSTRUCTIONS
WORK
AREA
[] Keep your work area dean and welt lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
[] Do not operate power tooJs in explosive
atmo-
spheres,
such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools may create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
[] Keep bystanders,
children,
and visitors
away
while operating
a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL
SAFETY
[] Double insuJated tools are equipped
with a
poJadzed plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This pJug will fit in a polarized
outJet only
one way. if the pJug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the ptug. _f it still does not fit,
contact
a qualified
electrician
to install a polar-
ized outlet. Do not change the pJug in any way.
Double insulation _'_ eliminates the need for the
three-wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system.
[] Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces,
such
as pipes,
radiators,
ranges,
and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
[] Don't expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
[] Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the tooJs or pull the pJug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
RepJace damaged
cords
immediately.
Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
[] When operating
a power tool outside,
use an out-
door extension
cord marked "W-A" or "W'. These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
PERSONAL
SAFETY
[] Stay aJert, watch what you are doing and use
common
sense when operating
a power tool
Do not use tooJ while tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication.
A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
[] Dress property. Do not wear loose clothing
or
jewelry. Contain tong hair. Keep your hair,
clothing,
and gloves away from moving
parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
[] Avoid accidentaJ starting.
Be sure switch is off
before plugging
in. Carrying tools with your finger
on the switch or plugging in tools that have the
switch on, invites accidents.
[] Remove adjusting
keys or wrenches
before
turning
the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
[] Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and
balance at aH times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations. Do not use on a ladder or unstable
support.
[] Use safety equipment.
Always wear eye protec-
tion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
TOOL
USE AND CARE
[] Use cJamps or other practical
way to secure
and support
the workpiece
to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
[] Do not force tool
Use the correct tool for your
application.
The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
[] Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or
off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
[] Disconnect
the plug from power source before
making any adjustments,
changing
accesso-
ries, or storing the tool
Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
[] Store idJe tools out of the reach of children
and
other untrained
persons.
Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
[] Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and dean.
Properly maintained tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
[] Check for misaJignment
or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condi-
tion that may affect the tooJ's operation,
ff
damaged,
have the tool serviced
before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
[] Use only accessories
that are recommended
by
the manufacturer
for your model
Accessories
that may be suitable for one tool, may become
hazardous when used on another tool.
