IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. To reduce the risk of electrical shock power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). The plug is designed to t into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not t properly into the out t, try reversing the plug - if it still
does not t, you need to find an outlet that is polarized, or contact a qualified
electrician to install a polarized outlet. Don't modify the plug and don't use any
plug adapters with earth grounded power tools. Double insulation eliminates
the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.
2. Avoid bodily contact with grounding services such as ranges, refrigerators,
pipes, radiators; there is a higher risk of electrical shock if your body is
grounded.
3. Don't expose your power tools to wet conditions or rain. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electrical shock.
4. 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.
5. Be sure to use electrical supplies that are suitable for the conditions. If
working outdoors, use extension cords rated for outdoor use, - this reduces
the risk of electrical shock.
6. If you have to work in a damp location, be sure to use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. This will help reduce the risk of electrical
shock.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have
the tools serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
8. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become
hazardous when used on another tool.
9. Use this power tool and accessories in accordance with the instructions;
always take into account the work to be performed and the conditions in
which the work will be performed. Use of this tool for anything other than
what it was designed could be harmful.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact
with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the
operator.
