4.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – To reduce risk of injury:
1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning it on.
3. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
4. DO NOT USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or
expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from the work area.
6. MAKE THE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
7. DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was designed.
8. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
9. USE THE 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 the line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. For runs
up to 25 feet, use a 16 AWG or larger gauge cord. For runs up to 50 feet, use a 16 AWG or larger cord.
For runs up to 100 feet, use a 14 AWG or larger cord. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust masks if the cutting operation is dusty.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work when it’s practical. It’s safer than using your
hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories, such as blades, bits cutters, and the
like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure the switch is in the off position before
plugging in the machine.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The
use of improper accessories may cause a risk of injury.
18. NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced.
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or
cutter only.
21. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN THE POWER OFF. Don’t leave the tool
until it comes to a complete stop.
