Product manual

Always secure your work. Use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece
securely. It is safer than using your hand, and it frees both hands to operate
the tool.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. A dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hardhat, and/or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
• Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid
surface enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
o Always use clamps or other practical ways to support and secure the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against
your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool and bit for your application. The
correct tool and bit will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which
it is designed.

• Disconnect the ptug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of accidentally starting the tool.

comes to a complete stop.
• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
o Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended for this tool. Accessories
that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
