ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded 1.

in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding

prong or modify the plug in any 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.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, 2.

and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is

grounded.

Do not expose Lamp to rain or wet conditions. 3. Water contacting with Lamp will

increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry or pull the 4.

Lamp or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil,

sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately.

Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. 4. Wear ANSI-approved safety

goggles, NIOSH-apprved respirator, and heavy-duty work gloves during setup and

use.
