GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read this owner's manual completely and make sure you understand all of its
safety guidelines.
1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS & WRENCHES. Before turning on the power tool,
make sure the keys and adjusting wrenches have been removed.
3. KEEP WORKAREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
4. ALWAYS REMAIN ALERT WHEN THE TOOL IS IN USE. Inattention on the part of
the operator may lead to serious injury.
5. DON’T USE INA DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or
wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lit.
6. KEEP CHILDRENAWAY. All visitors should remain at a safe distance from work
area.
7. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with padlocks, master switches or by removing
starter keys.
8. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed.
9. USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. 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. Table (see Table 1) shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
cord.
10. DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It has been designed to operate at maximum safety
and performance levels.
11. DO NOT FORCE THE MATERIAL BEING CUT.Always let the tool cut at its own
speed.
12. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, rings,
bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip foot wear
is recommended. Wear protective hair covering if you have long hair.
13. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.Also use face or dust mask for commercial
cutting operations. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact-resistant lenses, they
are NOT safety glasses.
14. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise instead of your hand to hold work when
8
practical. This safety precaution allows for proper tool operation using both hands.
15. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
16. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools clean and in good working condition
for maximum safety performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
17. DISCONNECT TOOLS BEFORE SERVICING – when changing accessories, such
as blades, bits, cutters, etc.
18. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in
OFF position before plugging in.
19. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s manual for
recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may increase risk of
injury.
20. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE CORRECT TOOL for the job you are doing.
21. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the
cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
22. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, damaged part(s),
(i.e., guard) should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other condition that may affect
the tools operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.
23. Replace damaged blades/cutters immediately. DO NOT USE DAMAGED BLADES/
CUTTERS. They may cause bodily injury.
24. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into the blade/cutter against the direction of
rotation of the blade/cutter only.
25. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. Turn power off. Don’t leave tool
until it comes to a complete stop.
26. Double Insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double
Insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system.
This power tool is supplied with all the relevant safety guards and features, it should be
checked before every operation, this manual should be read and kept in a safe place.
Whilst we warn of all the possible risks attached to using power tools any operator
must have read and understood the manual and apply their own caution and common
sense when using this power tool.
Following this guide will greatly reduce your risk of electric shock or injury.
Only use qualified repair agents to service this power tool.
