IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
!
!
WARNING -
When using electric tools, machines or equipment, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING - READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electrical shock,fire, and/or serious personal injury.
1.
KEEP YOUR WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2.
DO NOT OPERATE POWER TOOLS IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dusts. Power tools create sparks which may ignite dust or fumes.
3.
KEEP BYSTANDERS, CHILDREN, AND VISITORS AWAY
while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
4.
DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS
are equipped with a polarized plug. One blade is wider than the other, so it will
fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If it 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 a three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
5.
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.
6.
DO NOT EXPOSE POWER TOOLS TO RAIN OR WET CONDITIONS.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
7.
DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD.
Never use the cord to carry the tool or to pull the plug from an outlet. Keep the
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
8.
WHEN OPERATING A POWER TOOL OUTSIDE, USE AN OUTDOOR-RATED EXTENSION CORD RATED
“W-A” or “W”.
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
9.
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 inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
10.
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.
11.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING.
Be sure the switch is in the
OFF
position before plugging in. Carrying tools
with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools with the switch on invites accidents.
12.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS OR WRENCHES
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.
13.
DO NOT OVERREACH.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
14.
USE SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
15.
USE CLAMPS OR OTHER PRACTICAL WAYS TO SECURE AND SUPPORT THE WORK PIECE.
Holding the
work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
16.
DON’T FORCE THE TOOL.
Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and
more safely at the rate for which it was designed.
17.
DO NOT USE THE TOOL IF THE SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT ON OR OFF.
Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
