GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS POWER TOOL
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how to use your
power tool.
• READ and become familiar with the entire Operator’s Manual. LEARN the
tool’s application, limitations and possible hazards.
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form the habit of checking to see that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning ON.
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
• DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use power tools in damp
locations, or expose them to rain or snow. Keep work area well lit.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors and bystanders should be kept a safe distance
from work area.
• MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks, master switches or by removing
starter keys.
• DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
• USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or an attachment to do a job for which
it was not designed.
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. 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 that the product will draw. An undersized cord will result in a drop in line
voltage and in loss of power, which will cause the tool overheat. The table on page 14
shows the proper wire gauge size usage for each extension cord length and ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
• WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets or other jewellery which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear
is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
WARNING!
• To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, do not plug the tool in
until you have read and understood the safety guidelines.
