Model 88™
three-pole receptacles which accept the
tool’s plug.
Use of other extension cords will
not ground the tool and increase the risk of
electric shock.
8.
Use proper extension cords.
Insufficient
conductor size will cause excessive voltage
drop and loss of power.
9.
Extension cords are not recommended
unless they are plugged into a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) found in circuit
boxes or outlet receptacles.
The GFCI on the
machine power cord will not prevent electric
shock from the extension cords.
10.
Keep all electric connections dry and off the
ground. Do not touch plugs or tools with
wet hands.
Reduces 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 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 starting. Be sure switch is
off before plugging in.
Plugging in tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
4.
Remove adjusting keys or switches before
turning the tool on.
A wrench or key that is
left attached to a rotating part of the 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 tool in
unexpected situations.
6.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
1.
Use clamp or other practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable
platform.
Holding the work by hand or against
your body is unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
2.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for
your application.
The correct tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
3.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on
or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
4.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool.
Such
preventative safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
5.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons.
Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools,
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
7.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using.
Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
8.
Use only accessories that are recommended
by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool
may become hazardous when used on another
tool.
9.
Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil
and grease.
Allows for better control of the
tool.
Tool Service
1.
Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel.
Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified repair
personnel could result in injury.
2.
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
Specific Safety Information
1.
Be sure that the unit is plugged into a
properly grounded receptacle.
If in doubt,
check receptacle before plugging in machine.
Check the power cord to see that there are no
cuts or frays, and that the grounding prong on
the plug is still in place.
