diately. Damaged cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
8. When operating a power tool outside,
use an outdoor extension cord
marked "W-A" or "W." These cords are
rated for outdoor use and reduce the
risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
9. Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operat-
ing a power tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A mo-
ment of inattention while operating pow-
er tools may result in serious personal
injury.
10. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
11. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure
switch is off before plugging in. Carry-
ing tools with your finger on the switch
or plugging in tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
12. 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 in-
jury.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better con-
trol of the tool in unexpected situations.
14. Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-
tection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
Tool Use and Care
15. Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the work piece to
a stable platform. Holding the work by
hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
16. 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.

17. 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.
18. Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
tool accidentally.
19. Store idle tools out of reach of chil-
dren and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of un-
trained users.
20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained tools, with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
21. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect
the tools operation. If damaged, have
the tool serviced before using. Many
accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained tools.
22. Use only accessories that are recom-
mended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suit-
able for one tool, may become haz-
ardous when used on another tool.
SERVICE
23. Tool service must be performed only
by qualified repair personnel. Service
or maintenance performed by unquali-
fied personnel could result in a risk of in-
jury.
24. When servicing a tool, use only identi-
cal replacement parts. Follow instruc-
tions in the Maintenance section of
this manual. Use of unauthorized parts
or failure to follow Maintenance Instruc-
tions may create a risk of electric shock
or injury. Certain cleaning agents such
as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, am-
monia etc. may damage plastic parts.
