1
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered, dark work areas invite
accidents.
2
Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use your power tool in rain,
damp or wet locations or in the presence of explosive atmospheres
(gaseous fumes, dust or flammable materials). Remove materials or
debris that may be ignited by sparks.
3
Keep bystanders away. Children and bystanders should be kept at a
safe distance from the work area to avoid distracting the operator
and contacting the tool or extension cord.
4
Protect others in the work area from debris such as chips and
sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
5
Make workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches, or by
removing starter keys.
16
Do not overreach. Maintain control. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
17
Use safety equipment. Everyone in the work area should wear
safety goggles or glasses with side shields complying with
current safety standards. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses. Wear hearing
protection during extended use and a dust mask for dusty
operations. Hard hats, face shields, safety shoes, etc. should be
used when specified or necessary. Keep a fire extinguisher
nearby.
18
Keep guards in place and in working order.
19
Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is
tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
20
Keep hands away from all cutting edges and moving parts.
6
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 adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tool
should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
7
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 wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system.
8
Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refridgerators. When
making blind or plunge cuts, always check the work area for hidden
wires or pipes. Hold your tool by insulated nonmetal grasping
surfaces. Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce
shock hazards.
9
Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
10
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.
11
Know your power tool. Read this manual carefully to learn your
power tool’s applications and limitations as well as potential hazards
associated with this type of tool.
12
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.
13
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Wear a
protective hair covering to contain long hair. These may be caught in
moving parts. When working outdoors, wear rubber gloves and
insulated non-skid footwear. Keep hands and gloves away from
moving parts.
14
Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Be sure your tool is turned
off before plugging it in. Do not use a tool if the power switch does
not turn the tool on and off. Do not carry a plugged-in tool with your
finger on the switch.
15
Remove all adjusting keys and wrenches. Make a habit of checking
that adjusting keys, wrenches, etc. are removed from the tool before
turning it on.
21
Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical.
It is safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to
operate the tool.
22
Do not force tool. Your tool will perform best at the rate for which
it was designed. Excessive force only causes operator fatigue,
increased wear and reduced control.
23
Use the right tool. Do not use a tool or attachment to do a job for
which it is not recommended. For example, do not use a circular
saw to cut tree limbs or logs. Do not alter a tool.
24
Unplug tool when it is not in use, before changing accessories or
performing recommended maintenance.
25
Store idle tools. When not in use, store your tool in a dry,
secured place. Keep out of reach of children.
26
Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn power off. Do not
leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
27
Check for damaged parts. Inspect guards and other parts before
use. Check for misalignment, binding of moving parts, improper
mounting, broken parts and any other conditions that may affect
operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the tool off
immediately and have the problem corrected before further use.
Do not use a damaged tool.
28
Use proper accessories. Consult this manual for recommended
accessories. Using improper accessories may be hazardous. Be
sure accessories are properly installed and maintained. Do not
defeat a guard or other safety device when installing an
accessory or attachment.
29
Maintain tools carefully. Keep cutting edges sharp and clean.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Periodically inspect tool cords and extension cords for damage.
Have damaged parts repaired or replaced by a JESSEM
.
30
Maintain labels & nameplates. These carry important
information.
31
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may
result in a risk of injury.
32
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts.
Follow instructions in the maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance
instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
