VERSION 5/2014
RECOMMENDATIONS
•
ELECTRICAL SAFETY:
Grounded tools
must be plugged into an outlet properly
installed and grounded in accordance with
all codes and ordinances. Never remove the
grounding prong or modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check
with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt
as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. If the tools should
electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to
carry electricity away from the user.
•
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.
•
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
•
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.
•
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.
USING THE FS150
•
PERSONAL SAFETY:
Stay alert, watch what
you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use 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 switch is
off before plugging in. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables 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. Ordinary eye or
sun glasses are NOT eye protection.
•
WORK STATIONS:
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.
