WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark
areas invite accidents.
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.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY

and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances.Never
remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if
you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
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.

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, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor 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
whenoperatingapowertool.Donotusetoolwhiletiredorunder
the influence 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 jewellery. Contain
long hair. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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 switches before turning the tool on. A
wrench or 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 all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection must be used
for appropriate conditions.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
Store idle tools in dry and high or locked-up place. Out of reach
of children.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the
workpiecetoastableplatform.Holdingtheworkby hand or against
the 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 the 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.
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.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
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,andanyotherconditionthat mayaffect thetools operation.
If 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 model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may
become hazardous when used on another tool.
DonÕt use tool for purpose not intended.For example donÕt use
circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by qualified personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could
result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorised parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may
create a risk of electric shock or injury.
