ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! Do not touch or handle a live tool with any part of your body that
is wet or damp. Wet skin reduces resistance to electrical current,
increasing the danger of a serious or fatal shock.
WARNING! To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that the plug is
connected to a properly grounded receptacle.
1. Disconnect tool from power source before cleaning, servicing, changing
parts/accessories or when not in use.
2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical
equipment. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces. There is an
increased chance of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3. Do not expose the tool to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not disconnect the power cord in place of using the ON/OFF switch on
the tool. This will prevent an accidental startup when the power cord is
plugged into the power supply.
a. In the event of a power failure, turn off the machine as soon as the
power is interrupted. The possibility of accidental injury could occur if
the power returns and the unit is not switched off.
5. Do not alter any parts of the tool or accessories. All parts and accessories are
designed with built-in safety features that may be compromised if altered.
6. Make certain the power source conforms to requirements of your
equipment (see Specifications).
7. When wiring an electrically driven device, follow all electrical and safety
codes, as well as the most recent Canadian Electrical Code (CE) and
Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS).
8. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If
the tool should electronically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
a. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way, as
this will render the tool unsafe.
