c) Prevent unintentional
starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off position
before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting
key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or
a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury,
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided
for the connection
of dust extraction
and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4} POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application.
The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect
the plug
from the power
source andlor
the battery
pack
from the
power
tool before making
any adjustments,
changing
accessories,
or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally,
d) Store idle power
tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power
tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control
g) Use the power
tool, accessories
and tool bits, etc. in accordance
with these
instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be
performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power
tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical
replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional
Specific
Safety
Instructions
for Drills
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tooL Loss of control can cause personal injury,
Hold power tool by insulated
gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
Use clamps 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
Keep handles dry, clean, free from oil and grease, it is recommended
to use rubber
gloves. This will enable better control of the tool.
Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
An extension
cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for
safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is
16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up
the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The
following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
cord.

_WARNING:
ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty, ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY
EQUIPMEN?_
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI $12.6 ($3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA
respiratory protection.
_WARNING:
Always use eye protection. All users and bystanders must wear eye protection
that conforms to ANSI Z87.1.
AWARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California 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. Toreduce
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.
• Avoid prolonged
contact
with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and
other construction activities. Wear protective
clothing and wash exposed areas with
soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.
A WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury, Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body,
