tools to rain. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep
work area well lit. Do not use tool in presence of flammable liquids
or gases.
• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact
with grounded surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerator enclosures.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Do not let visitors contact tool or
extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from work area.
• STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in
dry, and high or locked-up place — out of reach of children.
• DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was intended.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the
job of a heavy-duty tool. Don't use tool for purpose not intended.
• DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They
can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair. Air vents often cover
moving parts and should also be avoided.
• USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if operation
is dusty.
• DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to
disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp
edges.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
• DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for
better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if

handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
• DISCONNECT OR LOCK OFF TOOLS when not in use, before
servicing, and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of
checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from tool before turning it on.
• AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don't carry tool with finger
on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
• EXTENSION CORDS. 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. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.

outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and

Do not operate tool when you are tired.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a
guard or other part that is damaged 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 conditions that
