refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is grounded.
3.4 Don't expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
3.5 Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
to carry the tools 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.
3.6 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.
4 Personal Safety
4.1 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 when operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
4.2 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.
4.3 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.
4.4 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.
4.5 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enable better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
4.6 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
5. Tool Use and Care
5.1 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.
5.2 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.
5.3 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.
5.4 Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
6
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
5.5 Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
5.6 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.
5.7 Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the tool's operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
5.8 Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one
tool may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
6 SERVICE
6.1 Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury.
6.2 When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unau-thorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
