gEnERAL SAFEtY RuLES

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.

WARning:

REAd and understand all warnings, cautions and operating

instructions before using this equipment. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

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.

• Dress properly.

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves

away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air
vents may cover moving parts and should be avoided.

English

stable platform. Holding the work piece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.

• Do not force the power tool.

The tool will perform the job better and safer at the feed

rate for which it is designed. forcing the tool could possibly damage the tool and may result in
personal injury.

• Use the correct power tool for the job.

Don’t force the tool or attachment to do a

job for which it is not designed.

• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.

Any tool that cannot be

controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center

• Turn power tool off, and disconnect the plug

from the power source and/or

battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing the accessories, or
storing the tools

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of an accidental start up which

may cause personal injury

• Store idle tool out of reach of children and other inexperienced

persons.

It is dangerous in the hand of untrained users.

• Maintain power tools with care.

Check for proper alignment and binding of moving

parts, component breaks, and any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. A guard
or any other part that is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center to avoid risk of personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

EXtEnSion CoRdS

grounded tools require a three wire extension cord

Double insulated tools can

use either a two or three wire extension cord.  As the distance from the power supply outlet increases,
you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. using extension cords with inadequately sized wire
causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.  Refer to the
table shown below to determine the required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. for example: a 14-
gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord.  When using more than one extension
cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.
If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the
sum to determine the required minimum wire size.

guidelines for using Extension Cords

• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in

Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.

• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a

damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.

• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

bit and keep it cutting. Do not force or stall the bit. Don’t bend or twist the bit. Let the tool and the
blade do the work.

2. Maintain your balance and be prepared for binding and for when the bit breaks through the

material.

WARning:

Forcing a drill bit, bending or twisting the bit, or failure to

maintain balance in case of binding and breakthrough can result in serious
personal injury.

3. Chattering or vibration may indicate you need a finer bit or higher speed. If the bit overheats or

clogs, it may indicate you need a coarser bit or slower speed setting. Replace bits when they
become dull. Dull bits will produce poor results and may overheat the drill.

4. use a coating of light oil when drilling into metal to keep the bit cool and to facilitate cutting.
