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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work area
1 Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2 Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
3 Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical safety
4a 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
adapter 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.
4b Double insulated tools are equipped with a
polarized 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.
5 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.
6 Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
7 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.
8 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
9 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use 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.
10 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
