SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORK AREA
a)
Keep work area clean and well
lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
b)
Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as
the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust.
Power
tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
c)
Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool.
Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match
the outlet. Never modify the plug
in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded)
power
tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
b)
Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators.
There
is
an
increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
c)
Do not expose power tools to
rain or wet conditions.
Water
entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d)
Do not abuse the cord. Never
use the cord for carrying,
pulling, or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges, or moving
parts.
Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
e)
When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use.
Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a)
Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b)
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.
c)
Avoid
accidental
starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-
position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging in
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d)
Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on.
A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal
injury.
e)
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power
tool
in
unexpected
situations.
f)
Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewelry. Keep
