General Safety Information
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 Safety
• 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. Tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a 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 tool 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 electrical shock if your body is
grounded.
• Do not expose electrical tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a tool will increase the
risk of electrical shock.
• Do not abuse 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 electrical shock.
• When operating a tool outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords
are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electrical shock.
• Use only three-wire extension cords which have
three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole
receptacles which accept the tool’s plug. Use of
other extension cords will not ground the tool and
increase the risk of electrical shock.
• Use proper extension cords. Insufficient conductor
size will cause excessive voltage drop, loss of power.
• Before using, test the Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) provided with the power cord to
insure it is operating correctly. GFCI reduces the risk
of electrical shock.
• 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 electrical shock from the extension cords.
• Keep all electric connections dry and off the
ground. Do not touch plugs or tool with wet hands.
Reduces the risk of electrical shock.
Personal Safety
• 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 medications. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
• 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.
