GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below, may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
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 medication.
A moment of inat-
tention 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, cloth-
ing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in mov-
ing parts.
■
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off
before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger
on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch
on, invites accidents.
■
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turn-
ing the tool on.
A wrench or a key that is left at-
tached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
■
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times.
Proper footing and balance en-
ables better control of the tool in unexpected situa-
tions. Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.
■
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-
tion.
Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, globes, hard
hat, or hearing protection must be used for appro-
priate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
■
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Hold-
ing the work by hand or against your body is un-
stable and may lead to loss of control.
■
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.
■
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.
■
Disconnect the plug from power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the tool acciden-
tally.
■
Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
■
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
■
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools may create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
■
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
■
Double insulated tools are equipped with a po-
larized 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 does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way.
Double insu-
lation
eliminates the need for the three-wire
grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.
■
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.
■
Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
■
Do not abuse the 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.
Dam-
aged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
■
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.
