Section I - Safety Precautions
1. Keep working area clean and tidy.
2. Keep electrical tools away from moisture. Never use in wet environment or humid
conditions. Working area should be well illuminated. Keep tools away from chemicals and
other corrosive materials.
3. Keep visitors at a safe distance.
4. Electrical tools not in use should be stored away safely.
5. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can inadvertently get stuck in the moving parts
of the machine, causing injury.
6. Never carry tools by the electric cable. Never unplug by pulling the cable. Keep cables
away from oil, heat and sharp edges.
7. Always check that the pipe and fittings are clamped down tightly.
8. The heating element can reach temperatures in excess of 570° F (300° C). Do not touch
the surface, and keep non-operating personnel at a safe distance.
9. Keep tools clean and sharpened. They produce better and safer results. Missing and worn-
out parts should be replaced immediately. Always assure that the accessories are properly
mounted on the machine. Only use factory parts.
10. Always use correct extension cable.
11. Do not use tools and machines when housing or handles, specifically plastic ones, are bent
or cracked. Dirt and humidity in any fracture can lead to electrical shock should the
insulation in the machine be damaged.
