WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
Work Area:
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas can cause accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dusts. 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.
Electrical Safety:
1. Double Insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.)
This 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.
2. 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.
3. Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
4. 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.
5. 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:
1. Stay alert when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication, as this may result in serious personal injury.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry and pull back long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts to avoid being caught in the tool.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in the tool. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools with the switch on can cause injury.
4. 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.
5. Do not overreach. Always keep proper footing and balance. Proper footing and balance enable
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection may be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care:
1. Use clamps to secure and support the workplace to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Store tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
6. 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.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many
