GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE 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
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded by all codes and ordinances. Never
remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use ungrounded plugs? . Check with a 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 surface and pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock
Take care when using and handling the power/data cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an
outlet. Keep the 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 inflation while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
Dress according to local safety guidelines . 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.
Avoid accidental starting of tool(s). Be sure the switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in tools may result in personal injury.
Remove adjusting keys or switches 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.
. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable 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.
Tool use and Care
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workplace to a stable platform. Holding the work by
hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Do notoperate a tool beyond its defined limits. 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 the 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.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained 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, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the
operation of the tool. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using it. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
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.
