READ AND SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS!
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well organized. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
2. 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.
3. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords may create a risk of fire.
2. The use of any Extension Cord will cause some loss in the voltage. This will result in
a loss of power and overheating. To keep it at a minimum, and to prevent the motor
from burning out, avoid using an extension cord. If an extension cord must be used,
it must be no longer than 25 feet with a minimum wire size not less than 12 AWG.
3.
This tool has a three wire grounding plug. Under no circumstances shall a temporary
adapter be used, or alterations be made to the plug.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Wear protective goggles when
operating the machine. It is recommended to wear protective goggles, gloves, sturdy
non-slipping shoes and an apron.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in OFF position before connecting to a
power outlet. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch when the switch is ON
invites accidents. Disconnect tool from power outlet before carrying out any work on
the machine.
4. Remove adjusting wrench 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
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
