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.
Remove adjusting keys or switches 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 a 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, hardhat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool use and care
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the work piece 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 the 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 preventive 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, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Poorly maintained tools
cause many accidents.
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.
Service
Only qualified repair personnel must perform tool service. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
When servicing tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section
of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
