BEFORE USING THIS POWER TOOL
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert 

and knowing how to use your power tool.

1.   

READ and become familiar with the entire 

Instruction Manual. 

LEARN the tool’s 

application, limitations and possible hazards.

2. 

KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

3. 

REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. 

Form the habit of checking to see that keys and 

adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before 

turning ON.

4. 

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and 

benches invite accidents.

5. 

DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. 

Do not use power tools in damp locations, or expose 

them to rain or snow. Keep work area well lit.

6. 

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors and bystanders 

should be kept a safe distance from work area.

7. 

MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks, 

master switches or by removing starter keys.

8. 

DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better 

and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

9. 

USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or an 

attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. 

10. 

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. 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. 

An undersized cord will result in a drop in line 

voltage and in loss of power which will cause the tool 

to overheat. The table on page 6 shows the correct 

size to use depending on cord length and nameplate 

ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier 

gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier 

the cord.

11. 

WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose 

clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other 

jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. 

Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective 

hair covering to contain long hair.

12. 

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any power 

tool can throw foreign objects into the eyes 

and could cause permanent eye damage. 

ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (not glasses) 

that comply with ANSI Safety standard 

Z87.1. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact–

resistant lenses. They 

ARE NOT safety glasses. 

NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with 

ANSI Z87.1 could seriously injure you when they 

break.

13. 

WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK. Sawing 

operation produces dust.

14. 

SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to 

hold work when practical. It is safer than 

using your hand and it frees both hands to 

operate the tool.

15. 

DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER SOURCE 

before servicing, and when changing accessories 

such as blades, bits and cutters.

16. 

STARTING. Make sure switch is in the OFF position 

before plugging the tool in.

17. 

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. 

Consult this Instruction Manual for recommended 

accessories. The use of improper accessories may 

cause risk of injury to yourself or others.

18. 

NEVER STAND ON THE TOOL. Serious injury 

could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is 

unintentionally contacted.

19. 

CHECK FOR 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.

20. 

UNATTENDED. TURN THE POWER “OFF”. Do not 

walk away from a running tool until the blade comes 

to a complete stop and the tool is unplugged from 

the power source.

21. 

DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and 

balance at all times.

22. 

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp 

and clean for best and safest performance. Follow 

instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

23. 

DO NOT use power tool in presence of flammable 

liquids or gases.

24. 

DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the 

influence of any drugs, alcohol or medicationn that 

could affect your ability to use the tool properly.

25. Dust generated from certain materials can be 

hazardous to your health. Always operate saw in 

well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust 

removal.

26. 

WEAR HEARING PROTECTION to reduce the risk 

of induced hearing loss.
