Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and
shock the operator.
Additional Rules for Safe Operation
•
Know your power tool. Read operator's
manual carefully. Learn its applications
and
limitations, as well as the specific potential
hazards related to this tool. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or
serious injury.
•
Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eye-
glasses have only impact-resistant
lenses;
they are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
•
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask
if the operation is dusty. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
•
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection
during extended periods of operation. Follow-
ing this rule will reduce the risk of serious per-
sonal injury.
•
Inspect tool cords periodically and, if dam-
aged, have repaired
at your nearest
Factory
Service Center
or other
Authorized
Service
Organization.
Constantly
stay aware of cord
location.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock or fire.
•
Check damaged parts. Before further
use of
the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
•
Don't abuse cord. Never carry the tool by the
cord or yank it to disconnect
it from the
receptacle.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, and
sharp edges. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of electric shock or fire.
•
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. A wire gage
size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended
for an extension cord 100 feet or less in
length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not
recommended.
If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.
•
Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber
before cutting. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
•
Drugs, alcohol,
medication.
Do not operate
tool while under the influence
of drugs, alco-
hol, or any medication.
Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious
personal injury.
•
Save these instructions. Refer to them fre-
quently and use them to instruct others who
may use this tool. If you loan someone this
tool, loan them these instructions also.
_WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
