General Safety Rules – For All Tools

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 operat-

ing 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. Applicable only to
Class I (grounded) tools.

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. Applicable only to Class II (double
insulated) tools.

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
outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The following table shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
