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 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 switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that can

not 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 tool’s 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 manufacturer for

your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may

become hazardous when used on another tool.

SERVICE

Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.

Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel 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 Maintenance Instructions may

create a risk of electric shock or injury.
