Important Safety Instructions
(For all tools)
WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and
personal injury, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite
injuries.
• CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't expose power tools
to rain. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area
well lit.
• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with
grounded surfaces; for example, pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerator enclosures.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept away from work
area. Do not let visitors contact tool.
• STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry,
and high or locked-up place — out of reach of children.
• DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was intended.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the job
of a heavy duty tool. Don't use tool for purpose not intended; for
example, don't use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
• DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can
be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are
recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering
to contain long hair.
• USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dustmask if operation is
dusty.
• DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to
disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
