DESCRIPTION, SPECIFICATIONS AND
INSTRUCTIONS
General safety instructions
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.
1) Keep guards in place and in
working order.
2) Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
Form habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the
tool before turning it on.
3) Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
4) Don’t use in 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 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 safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
8) Use the right tool. Don’t force 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 line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. The table on
page 24 of this manual shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
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 mask if cutting operating is dusty.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses: they are NOT safety
glasses.
12) Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when 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 switch is in "off" position before
plugging in.
17) Use recommended accessories. Consult
the owner’s manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury to
persons.
18) Never stand on 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 if 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 power off. Don’t leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
