“READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS” — Failure to follow the SAFETY RULES identified by
BULLET (•) symbol listed BELOW and other safety precautions, may result in serious
personal injury.
General Safety Rules for Bench Top Tools
!
WARNING
Safety
Work Area
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite acdents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive at-
mospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions ca-
cause you to lose control.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are danger-ous
in the hands of untrained users.
• Do not leave tool running unattended, turn
power off. Do not leave tool until it comes to
acomplete stop.
• MAKE WORKSHOp CHIlDpROOf with pad
lock, master switches, or by removing starter
keys.
Electrical Safety
• Before plugging in the tool, be certain the out-
let voltage supplied is compatible with the
voltage marked on the nameplate within 10%.
An outlet voltage incompatible with that specified
on the nameplate can result in serious hazards
and damage to the tool.
• Double insulated tools are equipped with a po-
larized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in
any way. Double insulation eliminates the need
for the three wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refriger-
ators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
• 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 imme-
diately. Damaged cords increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
• 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.
personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
A moment of inattention or use of drugs, alcohol
or medication while operating power tools can be
dangerous.
• 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. Roll long sleeves above elbows.
Rubber gloves and non-skidfootwear are recom-
mended when working outdoors.
• 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 wrenches before
turning the tool “ON”. A wrench or a key that is
left attached to a rotating part of the tool will be
thrown.
• Do not overreach, keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unex-pected
situations.
• Do not stand on tool or its stand. Serious injury
may occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool
is accidentally contacted. Do not store materials
on or near the tool such that it is necessary to
stand on the tool or its stand to reach them.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear safety
goggles. Dust mask, safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate
