SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a) 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-wired grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
b) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
c) Handle the cord carefully. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
d) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a
Ground Fault Circuit Interuptor (GFCI) protected supply.
Use of an GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.
e) 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.
f) Do not use the equipment close to flammable objects.
3. Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious the risk of
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
