WARNING
General Safety Rules
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
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
• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check with qualified electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from
the user.
• 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
• 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 your 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 injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your
hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts. Air vents may cover moving parts and should be avoided.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is turned off before plugging in. Carrying tools
with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• 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.
• 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.
