GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING!

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in

electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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

the dust or fumes.

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. Do not

allow children to handle or play with these products.

Electrical Safety

4. 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 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.

5. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider

than the other). This plug will fit in 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.

6. 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.

7. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

8. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools 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.

9. 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

10. 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 operating power

tools may result in serious personal injury.

11. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. 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.
