GENERAL SAFETY RULES FOR ALL POWER TOOLS
WARNING: Read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all in-
structions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep the work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in an explosive environment
,
such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks
which may ignite dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power
tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
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.
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.
Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
