GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Work Area
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark
areas invite accidents.
2. 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.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operat-
ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
1. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet, properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and
ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check
with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. If the tool should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance
path to carry electricity away from the user.
2. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit a polar-
ized 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 quali-
fied electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for
the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.
3. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is grounded.
4. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
5. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools
or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
6. When operating a power tool outside use an outdoor exten-
sion cord marked "W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for
outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
7. Keep all electric connections dry and off the ground. Re-
duces the risk of electric shock.
8.
Do not touch plugs or tools with wet hands. Reduces 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 mo-
ment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Con-
tain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plug-
ging in. Plugging in tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool
on. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the
tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
6. Always wear safety glasses and rubber soled, non-slip
shoes. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
1. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2. Do not force tool. 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.
3. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
4. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
tool accidentally.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6. 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.
7. Inspect for misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts, and any other condition that may affect the
tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
8. Only use accessories that are recommended by the manu-
facturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.
Service
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair per-
sonnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified repair
personnel could result in injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts.
Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this man-
ual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1. Only wear leather gloves. Never use any other type of glove,
such as cloth, rubber, or coated gloves. Never grasp a rotating
cable with a rag. These items could become wrapped around
the cable and cause serious injury.
2. Be sure that the unit is plugged into a properly grounded
receptacle. If in doubt, check receptacle before plugging in
machine. Check the power cord to see that there are no cuts or
frays, and that the grounding prong on the plug is still in place.
