WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
1.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.
Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2.
CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT.
Don’t use bench tools in damp, wet, or poorly lit locations. Don’t
expose your tool to rain. Keep the work area well lit. Don’t use tools in
the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
3.
KEEP CHILDREN AND BY STANDERS AWAY.
All children should be kept away from the work area. Don’t let them
handle machines, tools or extension cords. Visitors can be a distraction
and are difficult to protect from injury.
4.
GROUNDED TOOLS
must be plugged into an outlet that itself is properly installed and
grounded. Grounding provides a low-resistance path to carry electricity
to ground away from the operator, should the tool malfunction
electrically. Do not remove the grounding prong from the plug or alter
the plug in any way. If in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded according to code, check with a qualified electrician.
5.
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerator enclosures. When your body is grounded the risk of
electric shock increases. When working wherever “live” electrical wires
may be encountered, try to ascertain whether there is a danger of
shock. Even so, DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL
while using it. Hold the tool only by the plastic grip to prevent electric
shock if you contact a live wire.
6.
DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD.
Never carry your bench tool by the cord or pull on the cord to unplug it.
Protect the cord from potential sources of damage: heat, oil & solvents,
sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
7.
WHEN WORKING OUTDOORS,
USE AN OUTDOOR-RATED EXTENSION CORD. An extension cord
rated for outdoor use must be marked “W-A” or “W”.
8.
DO NOT EXPOSE ELECTRICAL BENCH TOOLS TO MOISTURE.
Rain or wet conditions can cause water to enter the tool and lead to
electric shock.
9.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows
the correct size to use depending on the cord length and name plate
amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

10.
STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT.
Store equipment in a dry area to inhibit rust. Equipment also should be
in a high location or locked up to keep out of reach of children.
11.
DON’T FORCE THE TOOL.
It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was
intended.
12.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL.
Don’t force a small tool or attachment to do the work of a larger
industrial tool. Don’t use a tool for a purpose for which it was not
intended.
