READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS 
BEFORE USING THIS 
APPLIANCE
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO RISK OF 
INJURY
GENERAL
A. FOR ALL DOUBLE-INSULATED TOOLS
1.  Replacement parts
   When servicing use only identical 
replacement parts.
2.  Polarized Plugs
   To reduce the risk of electric shock, this 
equipment has a polarized plug (one blade 
is wider than the other). This plug will fit 
in a polarized outlet only one way. If the 
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse 
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a 
qualified electrician to install the proper 
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
B.  FOR ALL TOOLS AS APPLICABLE
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 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 at a safe distance from 
work area.
6.  MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with 
padlocks, master switches, or by removing 
starter keys.
7.  DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job 
better and safer at the rate for which it was 
designed.
8.  USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or 
attachment to do a job for which it was not 
designed.
9.  USE 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. Table 1 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 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 work when practical. It’s safer than 
using your hand and it frees both hands to 
operate tool.
13. DON’T  OVERREACH.  Keep proper 
footing and balance at all times.
