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. Completely read the manual before proceeding to use this
tool.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TOOL
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Do not use power tools in damp,
wet, or poorly lit locations. Do not expose your tool to rain. Keep the work area
well lit. Do not use tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
3. KEEP CHILDREN AND BYSTANDERS AWAY. All children should be kept
away from the work area. Don't let them handle machines, tools or extension
cords. Visitors can be a distraction and are difficult to protect from injury.
4. GROUNDED TOOLS must be plugged into an outlet that itself is properly
installed and grounded. Grounding provides a low-resistance path to carry
electricity to ground away from the operator, should the tool malfunction
electrically. Do not remove the grounding prong from the plug nor alter the plug
in any way. If in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded according to
code, check with a qualified electrician.
5. OBSERVE PROPER PRECAUTIONS REGARDING DOUBLE INSULATION.
This tool is double insulated. It is equipped with a polarized plug. One blade is
wider than the other, so it will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you have
difficulty inserting the plug, try reversing it. If it still does not fit, do not alter the
plug; have a qualified electrician install a polarized outlet.
6. 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 &
solvents, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
7. WHEN WORKING OUTDOORS, USE AN OUTDOOR-RATED EXTENSION
CORD. An extension cord rated for outdoor use must be marked "W-A" or "W".
8. DO NOT EXPOSE ELECTRICAL POWER TOOLS TO MOISTURE. Rain or
wet conditions can cause water to enter the tool and lead to electric shock.
9. ENSURE THE EXTENSION CORD YOU USE IS OF SUFFICIENT GAUGE
FOR ITS LENGTH.

10. STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT. Store equipment in a dry area to inhibit rust.
Equipment also should be in a high location or locked up to keep out of reach of
children.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. USE EYE PROTECTION. Use a full-face mask if the work you're doing
produces metal filings, dust or wood chips. Goggles are acceptable in other
situations. Wear a clean dust mask if the work involves creating a lot of fine or
coarse dust.
14. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Be sure the switch is in the OFF position
before plugging in.
