IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - When using electric tools, machines or equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TOOL
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read and understand this manual and any label attached to the tool. Learn the
applications, limitations, and potential hazards associated with its use.
2. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
3. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp, wet, or poorly lit locations. Don't
expose your tool to rain. Keep the work area well lit. Don't use tools in the presence of flammable gases, liquids,
and potentially explosive dust. Keep a suitable fire extinguisher handy and know how to use it.
4. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces: pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerator enclosures. When drilling into walls, floors, or wherever "live" electrical wires may be
encountered, try to ascertain whether there is a danger of shock. Even so, DO NOT TOUCH THE CHUCK OR
ANY METAL PARTS OF THE DRILL. Hold the tool only by the plastic handle to prevent electric shock in case
you hit a live wire.
5. KEEP CHILDREN AND PETS AWAY. All children should be kept away from the work area. Don't let them
handle machines, tools or extension cords.
6. DON'T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and more safely, as well as give a longer life and better
service, at the rate for which it was intended.
7. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force a small tool or attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. Don't
use a tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.
8. DRESS PROPERLY. Don't wear loose clothing or jewelry: they can be caught in moving parts. Protective, non-
electrically conductive gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair and keep it from harm.
9. USE EYE PROTECTION at all times while using this machine. Wear ANSI-approved safety glasses. Use a full
face mask if the work you're doing produces metal filings, dust or wood chips.
10. USE HEARING PROTECTION, especially during periods of extended use.
11. FOOTWEAR Where there is a risk of heavy objects hitting your feet or of slipping on wet or greasy floors, wear
non-slip safety footwear.
12. HEAD GEAR Where there is risk of falling objects or of hitting your head on protruding obstructios at a low level,
wear a hard hat.
13. BREATHING PROTECTION. Wear a clean dust mask if the work involves creating a lot of fine or coarse dust Be
sure that you are protected from the dust produced by your use of this tool. Dust masks must be equipped with
filters appropriate for the material.
14. DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD. Never carry your tool by the cord or pull on the cord to unplug it. Protect the cord
from potential sources of damage: heat, oil and solvents, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately.
15. WHEN WORKING OUTDOORS, USE AN OUTDOOR-RATED EXTENSION CORD. An extension cord rated
for outdoor use must be marked "W-A" or "W".
16. DO NOT EXPOSE ELECTRICAL POWER TOOLS TO MOISTURE. Rain or wet conditions can cause water to
enter the tool and lead to electric shock.
17. EXTENSION CABLES AND REELS. Do not use a 2-wire extension cord for tools which have a ground prong
on the plug. A grounded plug requires a 3-wire extension cord capable of carrying the grounding to earth. When
using extension cords on a reel, always unwind the cord from the reel completely or dangerous heating and tool
damage may take place.
