READ AND SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS
■
KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the operator's manual carefully. Learn the
applications and limitations as well as specific potential hazards related to this tool.
■
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK by preventing body contact with grounded
surfaces. For example: pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
■
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order. Never operate the tool with any
guard or cover removed. Make sure all guards are operating properly before each use.
■
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see keys
and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
■
KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered work areas and work benches invite
accidents.
■
AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use power tools near gasoline or
other flammable liquids, in damp or wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep work
area well lighted.
■
KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All visitors should wear safety glasses and
be kept a safe distance from work area.
■
MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing
starter keys.
■
DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
■
USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or attachment to do a job for which it
was not designed.
■
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is
recommended for an extension cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
■
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY and replace if damaged.
■
WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, or jewelry that can
get caught in the tool’s moving parts and cause personal injury. Non-slip footwear is
recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair.
■
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses
have only impact resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
■
PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask if the grinding operation is dusty.
■
PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of
operation.
■
DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by the cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
■
DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
