Safety Instructions

WARNING

Electric shock resulting in death
can occur if you plug this machine
into an improperly wired outlet. If
the ground wire is electrified, you
can be electrocuted by just
touching the machine, even when
the power switch is off. A ground
fault circuit interrupter will not
protect you in this situation. Use
a UL approved tester to determine
if the outlet is safe.

Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust.

Wear only leather gloves. Never
use any other type of glove, such
as cloth, rubber, or coated gloves.
Never grasp a rotating cable with
a rag. These items could become
wrapped around the cable and
cause serious injury.

Use safety equipment. Always
wear safety glasses and rubber
soled, non-slip shoes.

Never operate machine with guard
removed. Fingers can get caught
in the mechanism.

Do not overstress cables.
Overstressing cables may cause
twisting, kinking, or breaking of
the cable and may result in
serious injury.

Work Area Safety

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 the dust or fumes.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.

4. Do not let visitors contact the tool or
extension cord. Such preventative measures
reduce the risk of injury.

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 any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs. Check with UL approved tester or a
qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the

tool should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry
electricity away from the user.

2. Double insulated tools are equipped with a

polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit 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.

3. 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.

4. Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
