WORK AREA
•
Keep work area clean,
free of clutter and well lit.
Cluttered and dark work areas can cause accidents.
•
Do not use your tool where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion;
e.g. in the presence of
flammable liquids, gasses, 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,
so visitors should remain at a safe distance from the work area.
•
Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits,
water pipes and other mechanical hazards in your work area,
particularly those hazards below the work surface hidden from the operator’s view that may be unintentionally
contacted and may cause personal harm or property damage.
•
Be alert of your surroundings.
Using power tools in confined work areas may put you dangerously close to
cutting tools and rotating parts.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•
WARNING:
Always check to ensure the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
•
Do not abuse the cord.
Never carry a portable tool by its power cord, or yank tool or extension cords from the
receptacle.
Keep power and extension cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords may cause a fire and increase the risk of electric shock.
•
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.
•
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 doesn’t
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Extension Cord Use:
A. Use only ‘Listed’ extension cords. If used outdoors, they must be marked “For Outdoor Use.” Those cords
having 3-prong grounding type plugs and mating receptacles are to be used with grounded tools.
B. Replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
C. Use of improper size or gauge of extension cord may cause unsafe or inefficient operation of your tool. Be
sure your extension cord is rated to allow sufficient current flow to the motor.
For the ATD-10531 use the following chart to determine what size extension cord to use.
CORD LENGTH / GAUGE
25’ 50’ 100’
150’
18 AWG
16 AWG
16 AWG
14 AWG
If in doubt, always use larger gauge cord. Be sure to check voltage requirements of the tool to your incoming
power source.
•
Do not expose
power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
•
Do not let your fingers
touch the terminals of plug when installing to or removing from the outlet.
•
Ground fault circuit interrupters.
If work area is not equipped with a permanently installed Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter outlet (GFCI), use a plug-in GFCI between power tool or extension cord and power
receptacle.
