Work Area
• Keep your work area dean and well lit. Cluttered
benchesand dark areas inviteaccidents.
• Do not operate powertools in explosive atmo.
spheres, such as in the pmserme of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tcolscreate sparks
whichmay ignitethedust or fumes.
• Keep bystandem, children, and viaitom away
while operating a power tool. Distractionscan
causeyou to lose control.
Electrical Safety
• Double insulated tools are equipped with a
poladzad 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, mvaree the plug. If it still does not fit,
conlaet a qualified electrician to install • polar-
izad outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Doubleinsulation[] eliminatesthe need forthe
three-wire groundedpowercordand grounded
powersupplysystem.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, rediatore, ranges, and mfdgera-
tom. Them isan increased riskof electricshockif
your body isgrounded.
• Don't expose powartools to rein or wet condi-
tions, Water enteringa powertoolwillincreasethe
riskofelectricshock.
• Do not abuse the cord, Never use the cord to
carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet,
2
Keep cord away from heat, oil, shal_ edges, or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords immedi-
ately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
When operating a power tool outside, usa an
outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W,"
These cordsam ratedfor outdooruseand reduce
the riskof electricshock.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use
common sense when operating a power tool, Do
not use tool while tired or under the influence of
dnJgs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattentionwhileoperatingpower toolsmay resultin
serious pamor,_l injury.
• Dines properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewehy. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Looseclothes,jewelry,or long haircan be caughtin
moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off
before plugging in. Carryingtoolswithyourfinger
onthe switchor pluggingintoolsthathavethe
switah on invitesaccidents.
• Remove adjusting keys orwranchee before
turning the tool on. Awrenchor a kaythat is left
attached to a rotatingpad:oftha toolmay resultin
personalinjury.
• Do not ovanmech. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Pmper footing and balance
enables bettercontrol of thetoolin unexpected
situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Dust mask, nonskidsafety shoes,hardhat,or
hearingprotectionmust be usedfor appropriate
conditions.
Tool Use and Care
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by handor againstyour bodyis
unstableand may loadto lossof control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correcttoolwilldo thejob better
and safer at the ratefor whichitisdesigned.
• Do not use tool if switch does not tom it on or
off. Any toolthatcannot becontrolledwiththe
switchisdangerousand mustbe repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustment=, changing
acoeseodse, or storing the tool. Such preventive
safetymeasures reducethe riskof starting the tool
accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained psmons. Toolsare dangerousin
the handsof untraineduSerS.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properlymaintainedtoolswith
sharpcuttingedges are lesslikelyto bindand are
easierto control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving
pads, 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 accessodse that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous
when used on anotber tool,
Service
• Tool sewine must be pedonmed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenanceper-
formed by unqualifiedpersonnelcouldresultin a dsk
ofinjury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical re-
placement pads. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorizedpartsor failuretofollowMaintenance
Instructionsmay createa riskof eleotdcshockor
injury.
3
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when perfomning 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 "five" and shock the
operator.
Additional Rules for Safe Operation
• Know your power tool. Reed operator's manuel
carefully. Learn itsapplications end limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to
this tool, Followingthis rule will reduce the risk of
