GENERAL SAFETY RULES
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
Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
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.
Keep bystanders, children, and
visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Electrical Safety
Double Insulated tools are equipped
with 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 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.
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.
Don't expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
GB
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying the tool 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.

General Safety Rules
When operating a power tool
outside, use an outdoor extension
cord marked "W-A" or "W". These
cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce 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 moment
of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry,
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure
switch is off before plugging in. Carrying
tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool
in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
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.
Do not force the 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.
