SAVETHESE[NSTRUCTIONS
WORKAREA
[] Keepyour workareacleanandwelt [it. Cluttered
benches a nddarkareasinvite accidents.
[] Donot operatepowertools in explosiveatmo-
spheres,suchas in the presence of flammable
liquids,gases,or dust.Power t oolsmaycreate
sparks whichmayignite thedustorfumes.
[] Keepbystanders, c hildren,andvisitors away
whileoperatinga powertool. Distractions can
cause youtolosecontrol.
ELECTRmCAL S AFETY
[] Doubme
insulated tools are equipped
with a
polarized
plug (one Made is wider than the
other). This plug wHmfit in a polarized
oufiet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. [f it stHI does not fit,
contact a qualified
electrician
to install a polar-
ized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Double insulation []
eliminates the need for the
threezwire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system.
[] Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces,
such
as pipes,
radiators,
ranges,
and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
[] Don't expose power
tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering 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, oH, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Replace damaged
cords
immediately.
Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
[] When operating
a power too[ outside, use an out-
door extension
cord marked "W-A" or"W".
These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
PERSONAL
SAFETY
[] Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common
sense when operating
a power tool.
Do not use too[ while tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol, 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 clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
[] 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 to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
[] Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and
balance at ail fimes. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations. Do not use on a ladder or unstable
support.
[] Use safety equipment.
Always wear eye protec-
tion. Dust mask, nomskid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
TOOL
USE AND CARE
[] Use clamps or other practical
way to secure
and support
the workpiece
to a staMe platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
[] 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.
[] Do not use too[ if switch does not turn it on or
off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
[] Disconnect
the plug from power source before
making any adjustments,
changing
accesso-
Nes, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
[] Store idle tools out of the reach of children
and
other untrained
persons,
q:oo[s are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
[] Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
too[s
sharp and cieam Properly maintained tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
[] Check for misalignment
or binding
of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condi-
tion that may affect the tool's operation.
[f
damaged, have the tool serviced
before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
[] Use only accessories
that are recommended
by
the manufacturer
for your mode[. Accessories
that may be suitable for one tool, may become
hazardous when used on another tool.
