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.
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 the 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.
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 the switch is off before plugging in the
tool.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper
footing and balance enable 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.
Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.),
be sure that thevoltage supplied is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool.
A power source with voltage greater than that
specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as
damage to the tool.
