Work Area
1. Keepyour work area cleanand well lit. Clutteredbenchesand dark areas invite
accidents.
2. Donotoperate power tools in explosiveatmospheres, suchas 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.
Electrical Safety
4. Double Insulatedtoolsareequipped witha polarizedplug(onebladeiswider
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.
5. Avoid body contact withgrounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
6. Do notexpose powertools torain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
7. Donot abuse the cord. Never use the cordtocarry the tools or pullthe plug
from anoutlet. Keepcordaway from heat, oil, sharp edges or movingparts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk
of
electric shock.
8. Whenoperating a powertooloutside, use an outdoorextension cordmarked
"W-A" or "W." These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce
the risk
of electric shock.

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.
18. Disconnectthe plugfromthe power source before makingany adjustments,
changing accessories, or storingthe tool. Such preventive safety measures

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 cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintainedtools, withsharp cuttingedges are less likelyto bindand are easier

21. 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 accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
