WORK AREA
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered, dark work areas invite
accidents.
2. Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use your power tool in rain,
damp or wet locations or in the presence of explosive atmospheres
(gaseous fumes, dust or fl ammable materials). Remove materials or
debris that may be ignited by sparks.
3. Keep bystanders away. Children and bystanders should be kept at a
safe distance from the work area to avoid distracting the operator and
contacting the tool or extension cord.
4. Protect others in the work area from debris such as chips and sparks.
Provide barriers or shields as needed.
5. Make workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches, or by
removing starter keys.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
6. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never
remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualifi ed electrician if you are in doubt
as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tool should electri-
cally malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance
path to carry electricity away from the user.
7. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). This plug will fi t in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fi t fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fi t, contact a qualifi ed 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.
8. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. When mak-
ing blind or plunge cuts, always check the work area for hidden wires
or pipes. Hold your tool by insulated nonmetal grasping surfaces. Use
a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock hazards.
9. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
10. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull
the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away form heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
11. Know your power tool. Read this manual carefully to learn your power
tool's applications and limitations as well as potential hazards associ-
ated with this type of tool.
12. 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
infl uence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in
electric shock, fi re and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
13. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Wear a protec-
tive hair covering to contain long hair. These may be caught in moving
parts. When working outdoors, wear rubber gloves and insulated non-
skid footwear. Keep hands and gloves away from moving parts.
14. Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Be sure your tool is turned
off before plugging it in. Do not use a tool if the power switch does not
turn the tool on and off. Do not carry a plugged-in tool with your fi nger
on the switch.
15. Remove all adjusting keys and wrenches. Make a habit of checking
that adjusting keys, wrenches, etc. are removed from the tool before
turning it on.
16. Do not overreach. Maintain control. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Maintain a fi rm grip. Use extra care when using tool on
ladders, roofs, scaffolds, etc.
17. Use safety equipment. Everyone in the work area should wear safety
goggles or glasses with side shields complying with current safety
standards. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses.
They are not safety glasses. Wear hearing protection during extended
use and a dust mask for dusty operations. Hard hats, face shields,
safety shoes, etc. should be used when specifi ed or necessary. Keep
a fi re extinguisher nearby.
18. Keep guards in place and in working order.
19. Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or
if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
20. Keep hands away from all cutting edges and moving parts.
TOOL USE AND CARE
21. Secure work. Use a clamp, vise or other practical means to hold your
work securely, freeing both hands to control the tool.
22. Do not force tool. Your tool will perform best at the rate for which it
was designed. Excessive force only causes operator fatigue, increased
wear and reduced control.
23. Use the right tool. Do not use a tool or attachment to do a job for which
it is not recommended. For example, do not use a circular saw to cut
tree limbs or logs. Do not alter a tool.
24. Unplug tool when it is not in use, before changing accessories or
performing recommended maintenance.
25. Store idle tools. When not in use, store your tool in a dry, secured
place. Keep out of reach of children.
26. Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn power off. Do not
leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
27. Check for damaged parts. Inspect guards and other parts before use.
Check for misalignment, binding of moving parts, improper mounting,
broken parts and any other conditions that may affect operation. If
abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the tool off immediately and
have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use a damaged
tool. Tag damaged tools "DO NOT USE" until repaired. A guard or other
damaged part should be properly repaired or replaced by a MILWAU-
KEE service facility. For all repairs, insist on only identical replacement
parts.
