WORK AREA SAFETY
1. ALWAYS keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
inviteaccidents.
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 ignitethe
dust or fumes.
3. ALWAYS keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distra_ons can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
I. Double insulated toolsare equipped with a polarized plug(one blade is wider than
the other.) This plug will fit in a poladzed outlet only one way. Ifthe plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reveres the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electdolan
to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
2. Double insulation[] eliminates the need for the three-wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system. Applicable only to Class II (double insulated) tools.
3. Before plugging in the tool, BE SURE that the outlet voltage supplied is withinthe
voltage marked on the tool's data plate. DO NOT usa "AC only" rated toolswith a DC
power supply.
4. ALWAYS avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators,There is an increased dsk of electdc shock ifyour body is grounded.
5. Ifoperating the power tool in damp locationsis unavoidable, ALWAYS use a Ground
FaultCircuit Interrupter to supply power toyour tool. ALWAYS wear electrician's rubber
gloves and footwear indamp conditions.
6. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.Water entedng a powertool will
increase the dsk of electric shock.
7. DO NOT abuse the cord. NEVER use the cord to carry the tools or pullthe plug from
the outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts, Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the dsk of electdc shock.
8. When operating a power tool outside, ALWAYS use an outdoor extension cord marked
"W-A"or "W". These cords are rated for outdooruseand reduce the risk ofelectricshock.
Iradiation exposure, electric shock, fire and/or serous personal injury.
NOTE: The extension cord must have adequate wire size AWG (American Wire Gauge)
for safe, efficient use. Smaller gauge wires have greater capacity (16 gauge wire has
more capacity than 18 gauge wire).
