Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep by-standers, children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
Double Insulated tools are equipped with a
_olarized plug [one blade is wider than the
_ther.) This plug will fit in a polarized
_utlet only one way. ff the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
:loes not Fit, contact a qualified electrician
lo install a polarized outlet. Do not change
_he plug in any way. Double Insulation []
.=liminatec the need for the three wire
_rounded power cord and grounded power
_upp]y system. Before plugging in the tool,
_e certain the outlet voltage supplied is
,vithin the voltage marked on the nameplate.
9o not use "AC only" rated tools with a DC
power supply.
Avoid body contact with grounded
sur[aces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded. If operating the power tcol in
damp ]ocatlans is unavoidable, a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter must be used to
supply.the power to your tool. Electrician's
robber gloves and footwear w_ll further
enhance your personal safety.
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entedng a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord to carry the tools or pull the plug
from an outlet. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
when operating a power tool outside, use
an outdoor extension cord marked '_N-A"
or _N." These cords are rated for outdoor
use and reduce the dsk of electric shock.
Refer to "Recommended sizes of Extension
Cords" in the Accessory section of this
manual.
Personal Safety

use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or

medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clathee, jewelry,
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
Avoid accidental 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 toa rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
