ELECTRICAL SAFETY

5.

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.

6.

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.

7.

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.

8.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.  Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.

9.

Do not abuse the Power Cord.  Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools or
pull the Plug from an outlet.  Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges, or moving parts.  Replace damaged Power Cords immediately.
  Damaged
Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

10.

When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-
A” or “W”.  
These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of
electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

11.

Stay alert.  Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a
power tool.  Do not use a power tool 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.

12.

Dress properly.  Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.  Contain long hair.  Keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
  Loose clothes, jewelry, or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.

13.

Avoid accidental starting.  Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in power tools
with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.

14.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on.  A wrench
or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
