CAUTION
Work Area
· KEEP your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
· DO NOT OPERATE power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of À ammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks wich may ignite the dust or fumes.
· KEEP bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
· EARTHED TOOLS MUST BE PLUGGED INTO an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances.
· NEVER REMOVE the grounding prong or modify the plug in any away.
· DO NOT USE any adaptor plugs.
· CHECK with a quali¿ ed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electri
cally malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
· AVOID body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
· DON'T 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 to carry the tool.
· NEVER 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 electric shock.
· WHEN OPERATING a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for
outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
Service
· Tool service MUST BE PERFORMED only by quali¿ ed repair personnel.
· When servicing a tool, USE only identical replacement parts.
· FOLLOW instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual.
Personal Safety
· 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 inÀ uence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
· DRESS PROPERLY.
· AVOID accidental starting.
· BE SURE switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your ¿ nger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
· REMOVE adjusting keys or spanners before turning the tool on. A spanner or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool
may result in personal injury.
· DO NOT overreach.
· KEEP proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.

Tool Use And Care
· DO NOT FORCE the tool.
· USE the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
· DO NOT USE 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.
· DISCONNECT the plug 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.
· STORE idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
· CHECK for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
· 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.
