WARNING:
Read all instructions.
Failure to follow instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
The term ”Power Tool” in all of the warnings listed below
refers to hand operated power tool(corded) or battery operated(cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Work Area
a.
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c.
Keep
children
and
bystanders
away
from
work
area
while
operating
a
power
tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical Safety
a.
Power tool (corded) plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b.
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 earthed
or grounded.
c.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d.
Do not abuse the cord.
Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal Safety
a.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication.
Any in-attention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b.
Use safety equipment.
ALWAYS
wear ANSI approved eye protection.
Safety equipment such
as gloves, dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, and hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce risk of personal injuries.
c.
Avoid accidental starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging
in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
