WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches
and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractionscancauseyoutolose
 control.
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-
tion.
 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valveisintheneutral
 positionanddeadmanswitchisoffbeforeturningonairsup-
ply.CarryingtoolswithangerontheswitchorEnergizing
toolsthathavetheswitchONinvitesaccidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning on
the tool. 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enablesbettercontrolof
 thetoolinunexpectedsituations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye and hearing
protection. Dustmask,non-skidsafetyshoes,hardhatmust
 beusedforappropriateconditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use clamps or other practical methods to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holdingthe
 workbyhandoragainstyourbodyisunstableandmayleadto
 lossofcontrol.
2. Do not force the 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.
3. Do not use the 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.
4. Disconnect the air supply from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
the tool. Suchpreventivesafetymeasuresreducetheriskof
 startingthetoolaccidentally.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other un-
trained persons. Toolsaredangerousinthehandsof
 untrainedusers.
6. 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.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect
 thetool’soperation.Ifdamaged,havethetoolserviced
before using. Manyaccidentsarecausedbypoorlymain-
tainedtools.
8. Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessoriesthatmaybe
 suitableforonetoolmaybecomehazardouswhenusedon
 anothertool.
SERVICE
1.Toolservicemustbeperformedonlybyqualiedrepair
personnel. Serviceormaintenanceperformedbyunqualied
 personnelcouldresultinariskof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electricshockor
 injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
TheOperator’sManualcontainsspecicsafetyinformationand
instructionsforyourprotectionagainstseriousinjuriesincluding:
• Lossofngers,hands,armsorotherbodypartsifclothingor
 glovesgetcaughtinmovingparts.
• Impactinjuries,includingbrokenbonesifmachinetipsoveror
 workpiecefalls.
• Eyeinjuries,includingbeingblindedbytheworkpieceor
 workpiecechips.
Read and follow the safety labels on the machine.
Knowthelocationandfunctionsofallcontrolsbeforeusing
thetool.
Switch Safety
TheDEADMANSWITCHisforyoursafety.Itlets
youshutoffthemotorbyremovingyourngers.Ifclothingshould
becomecaughtinthetool,itwillcontinuetowindup.Because
thistoolhashightorque,theclothingitselfcanbindaroundyour
armorotherbodypartswithenoughforcetocrushorbreak
