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
1.1 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 operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
1.2 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 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.
-
Avoid body contact with grounded surface ad 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 extension cord marked W-A or W.
These cords are rated for
outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
1.3 Personal Safety
-
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inflation while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
-
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.
-
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in tools may result in personal injury.
-
Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on.
A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part
of the tool may result in personal injury.
-
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
-
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
must be used for appropriate conditions.
