GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read and understand all
instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and
/ or serious personal injury. The term power tool”
in all of the warnings listed below refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work area safety
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquid, gases, or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
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 qualified electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. If the tools should
electrically malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a low resistance path to carry electricity
away from the user.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Don’t abuse the cord. Never use the cord to
carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an
outdoor extension cord marked ”W-A” or”W”
These cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
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
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
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 switches 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 a proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Tool use and care
Use clamps or other practical way to secure
and support the work piece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against
your body is unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or
off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
