(For all tools)
WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and
personal injury, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
•
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite
injuries.
•
CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don’t expose power tools
to rain. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area
well lit.
•
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with
grounded surfaces; for example, pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerator enclosures.
•
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept away from work
area. Do not let visitors contact tool.
•
STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry,
and high or locked-up place — out of reach of children.
•
DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was intended.
•
USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force small tool or attachment to do the job
of a heavy duty tool. Don’t use tool for purpose not intended; for
example, don’t use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.

be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are
recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering

Air vents often cover moving parts and should
also be avoided.

USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dustmask if operation is
dusty.

disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
