WARNING! “READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS”.

Failure to follow the SAFETY RULES identi-

fied by the BULLET (•) symbols listed BE-

LOW and other safety precautions, may result

in serious personal injury. Keep these operating

instructions with this product.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

for all Power Tools

Work Area

• KEEP WORK AREAS CLEAN. Cluttered

areas and benches invite accidents.

• AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT.

Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations.

Do not expose power tools to rain. Keep work

area well lit.

• AVOID GASEOUS AREAS. Do not operate

portable electric tools in explosive atmospheres

in presence of flammable liquids or gases. Mo-

tors in these tools normally spark, and the sparks

might ignite fumes.

• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Do not let visi-

tors contact tool or extension cord. All visitors

should be kept away from work areas.

Personal Safety

• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK.

Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces

such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerator

enclosures. Rubber gloves and non-skid foot-

wear are recommended when working outdoors,

where damp or wet ground may be encountered.

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter protected

power line must be used for these conditions.

• DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in

moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to

contain long hair.

• USE SAFETY EQUIPMENT. WEAR

SAFETY GOGGLES or glasses with side

shields. Wear hearing protection during ex-

tended use of power tools and dust mask for

dusty operations.

• STAY ALERT. USE COMMON SENSE.

Watch what you are doing. Do not operate tool

when you are tired or under influence of drugs.

• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND

WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see

that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed

from tool before turning it on.

• AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Don’t

carry plugged in tool with finger on switch. Be

sure the switch is OFF before being plugged in.

• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-

ing and balance at all times.

• BEFORE CONNECTING THE TOOL to a

power supply (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure

the voltage supplied is the same as that speci-

fied on the tool’s nameplate. A power supply

with voltage greater than that specified for the

tool can result in serious injury to the user—as

well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT

PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power supply

with voltage less than the nameplate rating is

harmful to the motor.

“Volts AC” designated tools are for Alternating

Current 50-60 Hz only. “Volts DC” designated

tools are for Direct Current. Do not use AC

designated tools with DC power supply. Do not

use electronic speed controlled tools with DC

power supply.

Tool Use and Care

• DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job

better and safer at the rate for which it was

designed.

• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force small tool

or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool.

Don’t use tool for purpose not intended—for

example; don’t use a circular saw for cutting

tree limbs or logs.

• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to

hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and

it frees both hands to operate the tool.

• DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by

cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle.

Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

Always keep cord away from the spinning blade,

bits or any other moving part while the tool is in

use.

• OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS.

When tool is used outdoors, use only extension

cords suitable for use outdoors and marked with

suffix W-A (for UL), or W (for CSA). Refer to

section “Extension Cords”, for proper cord use.

• DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use,

before servicing, or when changing blades, bits,

cutters, etc.

• STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use,

tools should be stored in dry, high or locked up

place - out of the reach of children.

• DO NOT ALTER OR MISUSE TOOL. These

tools are precision built. Any alterations or

modifications not specified is misuse and may

result in a dangerous condition.

• THE USE OF ANY ACCESSORIES not

specified in this manual may create a hazard.

• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep

tools sharp and clean for better and safer perfor-

mance. Follow instructions for lubricating and

changing accessories. Inspect tool cords peri-

odically and if damaged, have repaired by au-
