Electrical Safety
1. 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 whether the outlet is properly
grounded.
If the tool should
electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance
path to carry electricity away from the
user.
2. Double insulated tools are
equipped with a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.
Double insulation
eliminates the need for the three wire
grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system.
3. 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.
4. Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions.
Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
5. Do not abuse the Power Cord.
Never use the Power Cord to carry
the tool or pull the Plug from an
outlet. Keep the Power Cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges, or
moving parts. Replace damaged
Power
Cords immediately.
Damaged Power Cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
6. When operating a power tool
outside, sue an outdoor extension
cord marker “W-A” or “W”.
These
extension cords are rated for outdoor
use, and reduce the risk of electric
shock.
Personal Safety
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are
doing, and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power 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.
2. 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.
3. Avoid accidental staring. Be sure
the Power Switch is off before
plugging in.
Carrying power tools
with your finger on the Power Switch,
or plugging in power tools with the
Power Switch on, invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or
wrenches before turning the power
tool on
. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
