following.

read all these instructions before operating this product and save these instructions.

for safe operations: 

1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

2. consider work area environment. Do not expose power tools to rain. Do not use 

power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use power tools 

where there is risk to cause fire or explosion.

3. Guard against electric shock. avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces. 

(e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators).

4. Keep children and infirm persons away. Do not let visitors touch the tool or extension 

cord. all visitors should be kept away from work area.

5. store idle tools. When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, high or locked up 

place, out of reach of children and infirm persons.

6. Do not force the tool. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was 

intended.

7. Use the right tool. Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a heavy 

duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes not intended.

8. 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 protecting hair covering to contain long hair.

9. use eye protection. also use face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty.

10. connect dust extraction equipment. if devices are provided for the connection of 

dust extraction and collection facilities ensure these are connected and properly used.

11. Do not abuse the cord. never carry the tool by the cord or yank it to disconnect it 

from the receptacle. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.

12. secure work. use clamps or a vise to hold the work. it is safer than using your hand 

and it frees both hands to operate tool.

13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

14. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer 

performance. follow instructions for lubrication and changing accessories. inspect tool 

cords periodically and if damaged, have it repaired by authorized service center. inspect 

extension cords periodically and replace, if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free 

from oil and grease.

15. Disconnect tools. When not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories 

such as blades, bits and cutters.

16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form the habit of checking to see that keys 

and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning it on.
