General Safety Information

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious
personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Work Area Safety

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power Tools create sparks
which 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

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools, Un-
modified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electrical shock.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electrical shock.
• Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of elec-
trical shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an ex-
tension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock.
• Use proper extension cords. (See Chart) Insufficient
conductor size will cause excessive voltage drop and
loss of power.

• Before using, test the Appliance Leakage Current
Interrupter (ALCI) provided with the power cord
to insure it is operating correctly. ALCI reduces the
risk of electrical shock.
• Extension cords are not recommended unless they
are plugged into a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) found in circuit boxes or outlet receptacles.
The ALCI on the machine power cord will not prevent
electrical shock from the extension cords.
• Keep all electric connections dry and off the ground.
Do not touch plugs or tool with wet hands. Reduces
the risk of electrical shock.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the in-
fluence of drugs, alcohol or medications. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for ap-
propriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the OFF position before plugging in. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging
in power tools in that have the switch ON invites ac-
cidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning
the power tool ON. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in per-
sonal injury.
• Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
