IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
COMMON SENSE AND CAUTION ARE FACTORS WHICH CANNOT BE BUILT INTO ANY PRODUCT.
THESE FACTORS MUST BE SUPPLIED BY THE OPERATOR.
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered work benches and dark work areas may cause
accidents or injury.
Do not operate the
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating the parts washer. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized 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 insulation 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.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep
the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating the tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “WA” or “W.” These cords
are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. Make sure the extension cord being used
is in good condition. If there are any cuts or nicks (no matter how deep) in the insulation, DO NOT use
that cord. Also, make sure the extension cord is heavy enough to carry the current needed. DO NOT use
small "around-the-house” lamp extension cords. These cords can easily overheat and/or catch fire when
used with power tools.

Disconnect the power cord plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.

hands of untrained users.

People with pacemakers or other electronic devices should consult with a physician before
operating this product. Interruption or failure of the pacemaker could occur when electrical equipment is
operated within close proximity of electrical devices.
Wash hands after handling the power cord. Touching the power cord could expose you to lead, which
is known in the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.
All work areas should be clean and well lit. Accidents are likely to occur in poorly lit, cluttered areas.
Keep children, and other distractions at a distance while operating the parts washer.
Keep the power cord in good condition, and replace damaged cords immediately. Do not use the
cord to pull the plug from the outlet. Keep the cord away from materials and surfaces that could damage
cords. The risk of electric shock increases when the power cord is damaged.
Always use the appropriate extension cord, making sure it is rated for use with parts washer.
Always be sure the extension cords are in good condition, free of cuts or nicks in the insulation. If using
the power tool in an outside area with an extension cord, make sure the cord is rated for outdoor use.
Do not make contact with a grounded surface while using this parts washer. Contact with surfaces
like pipes, radiators or major appliances increases your risk of electric shock.
Use common sense while operating this parts washer.
Do not use this tool if you are:
• Feeling tired or are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Wearing loose clothing or jewelry. Keep long hair pulled back and away from moving parts.
• Overreaching or have improper footing. Handling the tool in this way could cause serious injury.
• When using this parts washer, always:
• Wear the proper safety equipment, such as safety goggles, dust masks, non-skid shoes, etc.
• Check to be sure all adjusting keys or wrenches have been removed before starting the power tool.
• Check that the power switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging the unit into an electrical outlet.
Follow these steps to maintain safe working conditions and good working condition of power
tools. Improper care can result in electric shock or serious injury.
Secure and support the work piece using clamps. Do not use your hands to hold the piece in place.
Use the correct tool for the job. Using the correct tool is safer and faster.
Make sure the power switch is in good working order. If the power switch no longer turns the tool
“ON” or “OFF”, discontinue use, and have the tool replaced or repaired.
Remove the power cord from the power source before storage, changing accessories, or moving.
Keep out of reach of children, or any untrained person. Store tools in a safe and dry place.
Keep tools clean, and cutting tools sharp. Maintaining tools with proper care will increase the life of
the power tool, and reduce the risk of injury.
Check to be sure all moving parts are free from binding and are properly aligned.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your tool model.
Safety glasses and ear protection must be worn during operation.
