IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
1. Keep yourwork area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
2. 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.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from
debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
4. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other.) This power 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.
5.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, heaters, ranges
and refrigerators.
The risk of electric shock is increased if your body is
grounded.
6. Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
7. Handle the cord carefully.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.
8. When operating a power tool outside, use outdoor extensions cord marked
“W-A” or “W”.
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Avoid accidental starting.Be sure switch is off before plugging in.
Carrying
tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools with the switch on invites
accidents.
12. Remove adjusting keys before turning the tool on.
A wrench or a key that is
left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
13. Do not overreach.Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
