GENERALSAFETY RULES
(For All Tools)
USA002-2
A WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benchesand dark areas inviteacci-
dents.
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 ignitethe dust
or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors
away while operating a powertool. Distrac-
tions can cause you
to lose control.
Electrical Safety
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. Ifthe plugdoes notfit
fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified elec-
trician to install a polarized outlet. Do not
changethe plug inany way. Double insula-
tion
IEi eliminates the needfor the three wire
grounded power cord and grounded power
supply system.
Avoid body contact with grounded sur-
faces such aspipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock
if your body is grounded.
2

6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increasethe risk of electric shock.
7. Donotabusethe cord. Neveruse the cord
to carry the tools or pullthe plug from an
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increasethe risk of electric shock.
8. When operating a power tool outside, use
an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A"
or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor
use andreducethe riskof electricshock.
PersonalSafety
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
personalinjury.
10. Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
movingparts. Looseclothes,jewelry,or long
haircanbecaught inmovingparts.
11. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch
is
off before pluggingin. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or pluggingin
tools
that havethe switch on invitesaccidents.
12. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool on.
A wrench or a
key that is left attached
to a rotating part of
thetool may result in personalinjury.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
andbalanceat alltimes. Proper footingand
balance enables better control of the
tool in
unexpectedsituations.
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. Ordinary
eye or sun glassesare NOT eye protection.
Tool UseandCare
15. Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holdingthework by handor
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.
18. Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reducethe
riskof starting the tool accidentally.
19. Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons.
Tools are
dangerousinthe hands
of untrainedusers.
20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properlymaintained
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bindand are easier
to control.
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 ser-
viced before using. Many accidents are
causedby poorlymaintainedtools.
22. Use only accessories that are recom-
mended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitablefor
one tool, may become hazardouswhen used
on another
tool.
SERVICE
23. Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Serviceor main-
tenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result ina risk of injury.
3

24. When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure
to follow
Maintenanceinstructionsmay create a
risk of
electric shock or injury.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.Table
1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord lengthand
nameplateampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heaviergage. The smallerthe gage num-
ber, the heavierthe cord. Table
1: Minimum gagefor cord
