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 medica-
tion. 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. Air vents often cover moving
parts and should also be avoided.
Avoid accidental
starting.
Be sure switch is off before plug-
ging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging
in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove adjusting
keys or wrenches before turning the tool
on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury
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 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.
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.
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
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained
persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
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.
Check for misalignment
or binding
of moving parts, break-
age of parts, and any other condition
that may affect
the
tools
operation.
If damaged,
have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only 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

only by qualified repair per-
sonnel
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified per-
sonnel could result in a risk of injury
When servicing
a tool,
use only
identical
replacement
parts.
Follow instructions
in the Maintenance
section of this
manual.
Use
of unauthorized
parts
or failure
to follow
