IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in serious personal injury.
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. 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. Protect others in the
work area from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or
shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
4. Double Insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other.) This power plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double
Insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power
cord and grounded power supply system.
5. 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.
6. Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
7. Handle the cord carefully.Never use the cord to carry the tools or
pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When using electric tools, machines or equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, and personal injury. Completely read the manual
before proceeding to use this tool. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8. When operating a power tool outside, use outdoor extensions 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
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.
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.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools with
the switch on invites accidents.
12. Remove adjusting keys 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.
13. Do not overreach.Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
14.Use safety equipment.Always wear eye protection. Dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used
for appropriate conditions.
POWER 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
18. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
19. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20. Maintain tools with care. Keep accessories sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag
damaged tools“Do not use” until repaired.
21. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts,and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If
damaged,have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
22. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer
for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may
become hazardous when used on another tool.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
23. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the battery
pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch
on may cause an accident.
24. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A
