WARNING
Before using this tool or any of its accessories, read this manual and follow all
Safety Rules and Operating Instructions. The important precautions, safeguards
and instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible situations.
It must be understood that common sense and caution are factors which cannot
be built into the product.
SYMBOL MEANING
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION THAT CONFORMS WITH
CSA Z94.3 or ANSI SAFETY STANDARD Z87.1
FLYING DEBRIS can cause permanent eye damage. Prescription
eyeglasses ARE NOT a replacement for proper eye protection.
Non-compliant eyewear can cause serious injury if broken
during the operation of a power tool.
Use hearing protection, particularly during extended periods of
operation of the tool, or if the operation is noisy.
WEAR A DUST MASK THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE USED WHEN OP-
ERATING A POWER TOOL IN A DUSTY ENVIRONMENT.
Dust that is created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities may contain chemicals that are
known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other genetic abnormalities.
These chemicals include:
•Lead from lead-based paints
•Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products
•Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber .
The level of risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, according
to how often this type of work is performed. In order to reduce
exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and use
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the tool,
use proper circuit protection.
This tool is wired at the factory for 120 Volts AC operation.
It must be connected to a 120 Volts AC, 15 Amps circuit that is pro-
tected by a time-delayed fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or
or damaged in any way.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
reduces the risk of electric shock.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power

If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.

that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,

Make sure your extension cord is the proper size. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The table on at right shows the correct size to use according to cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace
or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your power tools. This circuit must not be less
than 14 gauge wire and should be protected with either a 15A time delay fuse or circuit
breaker. Before connecting the power tool to the power source, make sure the switch
is in the OFF position and the power source is the same as indicated on the nameplate.
Running at lower voltage will damage the motor.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord
marked “W -A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk
of electric shock.
WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord
so it will not get caught on the workpiece, tools or any other obstructions while
you are working with the power tool.
