GENERAL SAFETY RULES
n
STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch what
you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate
tool when you are tired. Do not rush.
n
DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT
ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorized service center.
n
ALWAYS TURN SWITCH OFF before disconnecting it
to avoid accidental starting.
n
NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Normal
sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
n
INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY. If damaged,
have repaired by a qualified service technician at an
authorized service facility. The conductor with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is neces-
sary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor
to a live terminal. Repair or replace a damaged or worn
cord immediately. Stay constantly aware of cord location
and keep it well away from the rotating blade.

INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY and
replace if damaged.
�n
GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with three-
prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole elec-
trical receptacle.

USE ONLY CORRECT ELECTRICAL DEVICES: 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and
3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never
use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or
any solvents to clean tool.

COMPONENT IS IN CONTACT WITH THE
WORKPIECE.

FLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY MEDICA-
TION.
