MANUAL & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or 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 children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
•
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
•
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
•
Only use safety equipment that has been approved by an appropriate standards
agency.
Unapproved safety equipment may not provide adequate protection. Eye
protection must be ANSI-approved and breathing protection must be NIOSH-approved
for the specific hazards in the work area.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
•
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.
