2.2 Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
2.3 Keep bystanders, children and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
3. Electrical Safety
3.1 Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet
properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all codes and ordinances. Never remove the ground-
ing prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified electrician
if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is proper-
ly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a low resis-
tance path to carry electricity away from the user.
3.2 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.
3.3 Don't expose power tools to rain or wet con di -
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
3.4 Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to
carry the tools or 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.
3.5 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.
4. Personal Safety
4.1 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
4.2 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.
4.3 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.
4.4 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.
4.5 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. Proper footing and balance

All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
enables better control of the tool in unexpected situa-
tions.
4.6 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate con-
ditions.
5. Tool Use and Care
5.1 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.
5.2 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.
5.3 Do not use tool if the switch does not turn it on
or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
5.4 Disconnect the plug from the power source be -
fore making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
5.5 Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
5.6 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.
5.7 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.
5.8 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.
6. Service
6.1 Tool service must be performed only by quali-
fied repair personnel. Service or maintenance per-
formed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk
of injury.
6.2 When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Main-
tenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions
may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
6.3 If a GFCI is supplied with the power tool, never
operate the power tool without the GFCI.
