GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read and follow all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
■
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
■
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo
spheres, such as in the presence of fiammabie
iiquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools may create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
■
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away white
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Electrical Safety
■
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polar
ized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
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.
■
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.
■
Do not 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 inatten
tion while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
■
Dress property. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
■
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 ail times.
Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
■
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
