• DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER SOURCE. When not in
use, before servicing,
when changing
blades, bits, cutters,
etc.
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE. In working order, and in proper
adjustment
and alignment.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. When not in
use, before servicing,
when changing
blades, bits, cutters,

to reach them.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.Before further use of the tool, a
guard
or other
part that is damaged
should
be carefully
checked to ensure that it will operate properly and perform its
intended
function.
Check for alignment
of moving
parts,
mounting,
and any other
conditions
that

be
properly replaced.
• All repairs, electrical
or mechanical,

• THE
USE
OF ANY
OTHER
ACCESSORIES
NOT
SPECIFIED
IN THIS MANUAL
MAY CREATE
A HAZARD.
Accessories
that may be suitable
for one type of tool, may
become hazardous when used on an inappropriate
tool.
Tool Use
• DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
• USE THE
RIGHT
TOOL.
Don't
force
a small
tool
or
attachment
to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Don't used tool
for purpose not intended--for
example,
don't use a circular
saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
• SECURE WORK.
Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's
safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate
the tool.
• DIRECTION
OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter
against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. Turn power
off. Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. 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 on page 4
shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
number. The smaller the gauge, the heavier the cord.
Tool Care
• DO NOT ALTER
OR MISUSE
TOOL.
These
tools
are
precision
built. Any alteration
or modification
not specified
is
misuse and may result in dangerous conditions.
• AVOID GASEOUS AREAS. Do not operate electric tools in
a gaseous
or explosive
atmosphere.
Motors
in these tools
normally spark, and may result in a dangerous condition.
• MAINTAIN
TOOLS
WITH CARE.
Keep tools
sharp and
clean for better and safer 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.
• Before connecting
the tool to a power source (receptacle,
outlet,
etc.), be sure voltage
supplied
is the same as that
specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a
voltage greater than that specified
for the tool can result in
serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in
doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source
with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the
motor.
