WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches
and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases, or
dust.Powertoolscreatesparksthatmayignitethedustor
fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operat-
ing a power tool.Distractionscancauseyoutolosecontrol.
4. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. Such
preventivemeasuresreducetheriskofinjury.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Electrical tools must be plugged into properly installed
outlets. Check with a qualied electrician if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly installed.
2. Avoid contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. Thereisincreasedrisk
ofanelectricalshockifyourbodyisgrounded.
3. Donʼt expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
enteringapowertoolwillincreasetheriskofelectricalshock.
4. Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool
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.
5. When operating a power tool outside, use an extension
cord marked “W-A” or “W”.Thesecordsareratedforout-
dooruseandreducetheriskofelectricalshock.
6. Connect the tool to an AC power supply that matches
the name plate specications.Incorrectvoltagesupplycan
causeelectricalshockorburns.
7. Use proper extension cords (see chart).Insufcientcon-
ductorsizewillcauseexcessivevoltagedrop,lossofpower
andoverheating.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medica-
tions. Amomentofinattentionwhileoperatingpowertools
mayresultinseriouspersonalinjury.
2. 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.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is OFF before
plugging in.Carryingtoolswithyourngerontheswitchor
pluggingtoolsinthathavetheswitchONinvitesaccidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or switches 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.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.Properfootingandbalanceenablebettercontrolofthe
toolinunexpectedsituations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.Dust
mask,nonskidsafetyshoes,hardhat,orhearingprotection
mustbeusedforappropriateconditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your applica-
tion.Thecorrecttoolwilldothejobbetterandsaferatthe
rateforwhichitisdesigned.
2. Do not use any tool if switch does not turn it ON or OFF. 
Anytoolthatcannotbecontrolledbytheswitchisdangerous
andmustberepaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source before mak-
ing any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
the tool.Suchpreventivesafetymeasuresreducetheriskof
startingthetoolaccidentally.
4. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other
untrained persons.Toolsaredangerousinthehandsof
untrainedpersons.
5. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean.Properlymaintainedtoolswithsharpcuttingedgesare
lesslikelytobindandareeasiertocontrol.
6. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect
the toolʼs operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. Manyaccidentsarecausedbypoorlymain-
tainedtools.
7. Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer of your model.Accessoriesthataresuitable
foronetoolmaybecomehazardouswhenusedonanother
tool.
8. Inspect tool and extension cords periodically and replace
if damaged.Damagedcordsincreasetheriskofelectrical
shock.
9. Keep handles dry and clean, free from oil and grease. 
Cleanhandlesallowbettercontrolofthetool.
SERVICE
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualied repair
personnel. Serviceormaintenanceperformedbyunqualied
repairpersonnelcouldresultininjury.
2. 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
maintenanceinstructionsmaycreateariskofelectricalshock
orinjury.
3. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accesso-
ries.Accidentsarecausedbypoorlymaintainedtools.
