GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THIS POWER TOOL
Safety is a combination of common sense,
staying alert and knowing how to use your
power tool.
WARNING l
To avoid mistakes that could cause
serious injury, do not plug the tool in
until you have read and understood the
following.
1. READ and become familiar with
the entire operator's
Manual.
LEARN the tool's application,
limitations and possible hazards.
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE
and in working order.
3. REMOVE ADJUSTING
KEYS
AND WRENCHES.
Form the habit of checking to see that keys
and adjusting wrenches are removed from
the tool before turning ON.
7. MAKE WORKSHOP
CHILD PROOF
with padlocks, master switches or by
removing starter keys.
8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL.
It wilt do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL.
Do not force the tool or an attachment to do
a job for which it was not designed.
10. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS.
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one that is heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw.
An undersized cord wilt result in a drop in line
voltage and in loss of power which will cause
the tool to overheat.
The table on page 10 shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.

accidents.

Do not use power tools in damp locations, or
expose them to rain or snow.
Keep the work area well lit.

safe distance from the work area.

bracelets or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts.
Non-slip footwear is recommended.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair.
