GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read and Understand all Instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
•
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.
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 adapter
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.
•
Don't 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.
(Note) When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The
recommended minimum is a 12 gauge extension cord not exceeding 50 feet.
