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.

SA VE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite

accidents.

2. Do not operate the Radio in explosive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Electrical products create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

3. Grounded products 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 a

grounded product should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low

resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

4. Double insulated products are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider

than the other). This plug will fit in a polariz ed 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.

5. 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.

6. Do not expose the Radio to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool

will increase the risk of electric shock.

eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and

7. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the Radio or to

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.

8. When operating the Radio 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

9. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the

Radio. Do not operate the Radio while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication.

10. Store the Radio out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Electrical

products are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

TOOL USE AND CARE

11. Do not use the Radio if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any appliance

that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.

12. Disconnect the Power Cord before making any adjustments, changing batteries,

or storing the Radio. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of turning on the
product accidentally.

SERVICE

13. Radio service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury .

instructions in the

Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.

“Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning”

GROUNDING

section of this manual.

WARNING!

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with
a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not
modify the power cord plug pro vided with the Buffer. Never remo ve the gr ounding prong fr om
the plug. Do not use the Buffer if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it
repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS

1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong grounding

plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the Radio should
electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to
carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See Figure A.)

2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the

grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to
the Radio’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal.

(See Figure A.)

3. A grounded appliance must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like
those in the following illustration. (See Figure A.)

DOUBLE INSULATED APPLIANCES: APPLIANCES WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS

Note: The AM/FM Band Radio has a two prong plug.

1. Appliances marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special double

insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable
standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the
National Electrical Code. (See Figure B.)
