WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
2. 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 flammables.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from
debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. 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 an y 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 tools should electrically malfunction or
break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user.
2. Avoid body contact with gr ounded surfaces suc h as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if y our
body is grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. W ater entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the Power Cord. N ever use the Power Cord to carry the tools
or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the P o wer Cord a way fr om heat, oil,
sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged P o wer Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord
marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and
reduce the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operat-
ing power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Dress properly . Do not wear loose c lothing or je welry. 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.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Po wer Switch is off before plugging
in. Carrying power tools with y our finger on the Power Switch/Trigger, or plugging
in power tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Always
wear ANSI approved safety impact goggles and thick rubber boots during use
and maintenance.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to
a stable platform. Holding the work by hand is unstable and may lead to loss of
control. Only work on a workpiece that is properly secured. Holding any object
while it is pressure washed can cause serious personal injury by the high pressure stream.
2. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool f or y our application. The correct
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. Do not use
small equipment, tools, or attachments to do the work of larger industrial equipment, tools, or attachments. Do not use this product for a purpose for which it was
not intended.
3. Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any
tool that cannot be controlled with the Po wer Switch is dangerous and must be
replaced.

4. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug fr om 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 .
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6. Maintain tools with care. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean. Properly
maintained tools are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged
tools “Do not use” until repaired.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, ha ve
the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained tools.
8. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous
when used on another tool.

or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
