General Safety Instructions
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
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 liquids, gases, or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while oper-
ating 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 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, ground-
ing provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from
the user. This tool uses grounded construction (3 prong plug) to
provide a means to transfer electrical energy safely away from the
user in the event the tool electrically malfunctions, breaks down,
or the tool case becomes live. Damage to, or loss of, one of the
3 plug blades; damage to the plug or cord, or failure to have the
tool plugged into a verified and continuously grounded electrical
system, may result in electric shock, serious injury, or death. To
avoid these risks of injury, the tool must, at all times, be main-
tained and in proper working order (cord, plug blades) and
plugged into a continuously grounded electrical system. (See
also “Cleaning” in the Maintenance section, page 15.)
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 exten-
sion cord marked “W-A” or “W.” These cords are rated for out-
door use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
