WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches
and dark areas invite accidents.
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.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates
the need for the three-wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system.
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.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose
this product to rain or moisture. Store indoors.
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.
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. Con-
tain 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, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
must be used for appropriate conditions.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn into air vents.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on
a solid surface enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
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 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 the reach of children and other un-
trained 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, break-
age of parts, and any other condition that may affect the
tool’s 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 manu-
facturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from
oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when clean-
ing. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and
deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instruction
manual.
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 shock or
injury.
