• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Do not let visitors contact tool or
extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from work area.
• STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in
dry, and high or locked-up place — out of reach of children.
• DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was intended.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the
job of a heavy-duty tool. Don't use tool for purpose not intended.
• DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-
skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if operation
is dusty.
• DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to
disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp
edges.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer
than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
• DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for
better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and
if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep
handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
• DISCONNECT OR LOCK OFF TOOLS when not in use, before
servicing, and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit
of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from tool before turning it on.
• AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don't carry tool with
finger on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
• EXTENSION CORDS. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have
3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug. Replace or repair damaged 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 cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following
table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage.
The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

• OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used
outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and
so marked.
• STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate tool when you are tired.
• 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
