power tools to rain. Don't use power tools in damp or wet
locations. Keep work area well lit.
• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact
with grounded surfaces; for example, pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerator enclosures.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept away from
work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord.
• 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 A 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; for example, don't use circular saw for cutting tree
limbs or logs.
• 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.
• USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dustmask 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 safe performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if
damaged have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep
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 plugged-in
tool with finger on the switch. Be sure the 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 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.
