General Power Tool Safety
Warnings
WARNING Read all safety
warnings and instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric
shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
The term ″power tool″ in the
warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool.
Work area safety1. Keep work area clean and well lit.a.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
Do not operate power tools inb.
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of ammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Keep children and bystandersc.away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical safety2. Power tool plugs must match thea.
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with grounded power tools.

SKU 65519 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 3
Unmodied plugs and matching out-
lets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with groundedb.
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rainc.or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never used.
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
When operating a power tool out-e.
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a dampf. location is unavoidable, use a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of
a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Personal safety3. Stay alert, watch what you are do-a.
ing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired
or under the inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal
injury.
Use personal protective equip-b.
ment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting.c.Ensure the switch is in the off-po-
sition before connecting to power
source. Carrying power tools with
your nger on the switch or energiz-
ing power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key ord.
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep propere.
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loosef. clothing or jewelry. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
If devices are provided for the con-g.
nection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use
of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Only use safety equipment thath.
has been approved by an appropri-
ate standards agency. Unapproved
safety equipment may not provide
adequate protection. Eye protection
must be ANSI-approved and breath-
ing protection must be NIOSH-ap-
proved for the specic hazards in the
work area.

Power tool use and care4. Do not force the power tool. Usea.
the correct power tool for your ap-
plication. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if theb.
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from thec.power source before making any
adjustments, changing accesso-
ries, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool ac-
cidentally.
Store idle power tools out of thed.
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to oper-
ate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
Maintain power tools. Check fore.
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
Use the power tool and acces-f. sories in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
Service5. Have your power tool serviced bya.
a qualied repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.

Operations such as polishing or2. cutting-off are not recommended
to be performed with this power
tool. Operations for which the power
tool was not designed may create a
hazard and cause personal injury.
Do not use accessories which3.
are not specically designed and
recommended by the tool manu-
facturer. Just because the accessory
can be attached to your power tool, it
does not assure safe operation.
The rated speed of the accessory4. must be at least equal to the maxi-

guarded or controlled.
The arbor size of wheels, anges, 6. backing pads or any other acces-
sory must properly t the spindle
of the power tool. Accessories with
arbor holes that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool
will run out of balance, vibrate exces-
sively and may cause loss of control.
Do not use a damaged accessory.7. Before each use inspect the ac-
cessory such as abrasive wheels
for chips and cracks, backing pad
for cracks, tear or excess wear,
wire brush for loose or cracked
wires. If power tool or accessory
is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged accessory.
After inspecting and installing an
accessory, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of
the rotating accessory and run the
power tool at maximum no-load
speed for one minute. Damaged
accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
Wear personal protective equip-8. ment. Depending on application,
use face shield, safety goggles
or safety glasses. As appropriate,
wear dust mask, hearing protec-
tors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abra-
sive or work piece fragments. The
eye protection must be capable of
stopping ying debris generated
by various operations. The eye pro-
tection must be capable of stopping

complete stop. The spinning acces-
sory may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
Do not run the power tool while13. carrying it at your side. Accidental
contact with the spinning accessory
could snag your clothing, pulling the
