IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,

and other construction activities contains chemicals known (to the

State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some

examples of these chemicals are:

●lead from lead-based paints

●crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products

●arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type

of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated

area, and work with approved safety equipment, always wear NIOSH/OSHA

approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when using such tools.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

It is important for you to read and understand this manual. The

information it contains relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and

PREVENTING PROBLEMS. The symbols below are used to help

you recognize this information.

SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS

Read all instructions. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or

serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed

below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or

battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite

accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create

sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) 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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric

shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as

pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of

electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a

power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the 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 electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord

suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces

the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired

or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal

injury.

b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment

such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing

protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) 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 that have the switch on invites accidents.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool

on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool

may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This

enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your

hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and

collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.

Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your

application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous

and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool

accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to

operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of

untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the

power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power

tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools

with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance

with these instructions and in the manner intended for the

particular type of power tool, taking into account the working

conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for

operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous

situation.

5) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only

identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the

power tool is maintained.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

1. Hold power 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.

2. 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.

3. Keep blades sharp. Sharp blades will do the job better and safer.

4. Keep hands away from cutting area. When sawing never reach underneath

or behind the material being cut for any reason.

5. When you have finished a cut be careful not to come into contact with

the blade. Turn off the motor immediately.

6. Exercise extreme caution when blind cutting. Be certain

that there are no foreign objects such as electrical wire, conduit, plumbing

pipes, etc., that may come into contact with the blade.

7. Wear eye and hearing protection. Always use safety glasses. Everyday

eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. USE CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT.

Eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards.

Hearing equipment should comply with ANSI S3.19 standards.

8. Use of this tool can generate and disburse dust or other

airborne particles, including wood dust, crystalline silica dust and

asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate

tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust

collection system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause

serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a

serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and

avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or

eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material.

Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection

appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and

water.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

EXTENSION CORD SELECTION

If an extension cord is used, make sure the conductor size is large enough to

prevent excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of power and possible motor

damage. A table of recommended extension cord sizes will be found in this

section. This table is based on limiting line voltage drop to 5 volts (10 volts for 230

volts) at 150% of rated amperes.

If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix W-

A or W following the cord type designation. For example – SJTW-A to indicate it

is acceptable for outdoor use.
