WARNING: When using electric tools, machines, or equipment, basic safety precautions should

3. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let them
handle machines, tools, or extension cords.
4. STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT. When not in use, tools must be locked up in a dry location to
inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.
5. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it
was intended. Do not use inappropriate attachments in an attempt to exceed the tool’s
capacities.
6. USE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment
to do the work of a larger industrial tool. Do not use a tool for a purpose for which it was not
intended.
7. DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving
parts. Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid footwear are recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.

Do not carry tools by the cord.
10. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or
across running machines.
11. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords
periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician. The handles
must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all times.
12. DISCONNECT POWER. Unplug when not in use, before servicing, and when changing
accessories.
13. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make it a habit to check that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool or machine work surface before plugging it in.
14. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Be sure the switch is in the OFF position when not in
use and before plugging in. Do not carry any tool with your finger on the trigger, whether it is
plugged in or not.
15. OUTDOOR EXTENSIONS CORDS. When the equipment is operated outdoors, use only
extension cords intended for outside use. See chart under “Extension Cords” for the proper
AWG rating depending on the length of the cord(s) being used.
16. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing; use common sense. Do not operate any tool when
you are tired.
17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting
fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do not use the tool if any
switch does not turn on and off properly.
18. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
