SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA SAFETY:
• 
Keep your work area clean and well lit
. Cluttered benches and dark areas 
invite accidents.
• 
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres
, such as in the 
presence of flammable 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 can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. 
Never modify the plug in any way. 
Do not use any adapter plugs in any earthed (grounded) power tools.  Double insulated tools 
are equipped with a polarized 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 system.
•  Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a 
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
•  Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. 
There is an increased risk of 
electric shock if your body is grounded.
•  Do not abuse the cord.
Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the 
power tool.  Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged cords 
increase the risk of electric shock.
•  When operating a power tool outside, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. 
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk 
of electric shock.
•  Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply.
While the tool 
may appear to work. The electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and rate a 
hazard to the operator. 
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 drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of 
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
•  Use safety equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust 
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection for appropriate conditions will 
reduce personal injuries.
