• 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.
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 influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious
personal injury,
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure
switch is off before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool on. A wrench 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.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
Tool Use and Care
• Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by
hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
• Do not force 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.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools, with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
• 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.
Service
• Tool service must be performed only
by qualified repair personnel. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only
identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a
risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

• Always use proper guard with
grinding wheel. A guard protects
operator from broken wheel fragments.
Always position the guard so that as
much of the exposed disc as possible
is pointing away from you.
• Accessories must be rated for at
least the speed recommended on the
tool warning label. Wheels and other
accessories running over rated speed
can fly apart and cause injury.
• Hold tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live"
and shock the operator.
