GENERAL SAFETY RULES FOR ALL POWER TOOLS

 

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

 

  

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.
