i. GENERAL SAFETY RULES FOR ALL POWER TOOLS
1. Know your power tool - read owner’s/operator’s manual carefully. Learn its applications and limitations as
well as the specific potential hazards unique to this tool.
2. Keep guards in place - and in working order.
3. Ground all tools - if tools are equipped with three prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electrical
receptacle. If an adapter is used to accommodate a two-prong receptacle, the adapter lug must be attached
to a known ground. Never remove the third prong.
4. Remove wrenches - Form a habit of checking to see that adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before
turning it “on”.
5. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
6. Do not use in dangerous environment. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to
rain. Keep work area well lighted. Do not use tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gasses.
7. Keep children and visitors away. All children and visitors should be kept at a safe distance from work area.
8. Make workshop childproof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.
9. Do not force tool. It will do the job better and be safer at the rate for which it was designed.
10. Use right tool. Do not force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
11. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry that may
get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
12. Always use safety glasses. Wear safety glasses (must comply with ANSI Z87.1) at all times. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses. Use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty, and ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Maintain tools in top condition. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have
repaired by authorized service facility.
15. Disconnect tools. When not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters.
16. Avoid accidental starting. Make sure switch is in “off” position before plugging in power cord.
17. Use recommended accessories only. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use
of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
18. Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally
contacted.
19. Check Damaged Parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to ensure that it will operate properly and perform it’s intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions
that may affect it’s operation. A guard or part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
20. Never leave tool running unattended. Turn power “off”. Do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
Read all instructions. As with all machinery there are certain hazards involved with
operation and use of the machine. The following basic safety precautions should be followed at all times to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and serious personal injury to you or others. Keep these important
operating instructions with this product.

21. Extension cords. 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. Extension cord tables
(refer to page 21 ) show
the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage numbers the heavier the cord.
22. Do not abuse cord. Never carry tool by cord or pull it to disconnect from receptacle, Keep cord from heat,
oil, and sharp edges.
23. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example, pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerator enclosures.
24. Outdoor use extension cords. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use
outdoors and so marked.
25. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.
26. Drugs, alcohol, medication. Do not operate tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.
27. Store idle tool. When not in use, tool should be stored in a dry and locked place, out of reach of children.
