Instructions / Assembly

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key
that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and bal-
ance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment by always wearing safety goggles or full-face visor and dust
mask. Additionally, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used
for appropriate conditions. Using personal safety devices and working in safe environment
reduces risk of injury. Use the tool only in ventilated areas.
TOOL USE AND CARE: Use clamps, vise or other practical ways to secure and
support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the object by hand or against
your body is unstable and unsafe and may lead to loss of control.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, chang-
ing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
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 tools operation. If damaged, have the tool ser-
viced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
Only qualified repair personnel from King Arthur’s Tools must perform tool
service. Please contact KAT for service instructions should repairs be required. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury and
could void the warranty.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk
of electric shock or injury. Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,
ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
