GENERAL SAFETY RULES
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
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.
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.
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.
Tool use and Care
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workplace to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it is designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
