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 Safety
• 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.
Tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
• Keep floors dry and free of slippery materials such as oil.
• Guard or the area when work piece extends beyond machine.
A guard or barricade that provides a minimum of three feet clearance
around the work piece will reduce the risk of entanglement.
• 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 electrical shock.
• Use only three-wire extension cords which have three-prong
grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles which accept the tool’s
plug. Use of other extension cords will not ground the tool and
increase the risk of electrical shock.
• Use proper extension cords. (See chart.) Insufficient conductor size
will cause excessive voltage drop and loss of power.
• Keep all electric connections dry and off the ground.
Do not touch plugs or tool with wet hands.
Reduces the risk of electrical shock.
Personal Safety
• 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 medications. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, 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 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.
• 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.

General Safety Information
Electrical Safety
• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet, properly
installed 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 adapter plugs. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. If the tool 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.
There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
• Don’t expose electrical tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a tool will increase the risk of
electrical shock.
• Do not abuse 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 electrical shock.
