Safety precautions for 3 wire
grounded construction
WARNING:
When using electric tools, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:
Read all instructions
1. Keep Work Area Clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite
injuries.
2. Consider Work Area Environment. Don’t expose power tools
to rain. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep
work area well lit. Do not use tool in presence of flammable liquids
or gases.
3. Guard Against Electric Shock. Prevent body contact with
gr
ounded surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refriger-
ator enclosures.
4. Keep Children Away. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from work area.
5. Store Idle Tools. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry,
and high or locked-up place – out of reach of children.
6. Don’t Force Tool. It will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was intended.
7. Use Right T
job of a heavy-duty tool. Don’t use tool for purpose not intended –
for example – don’t use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
8. Dress Properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can
be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear
are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair.
9. Use Safety Glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty.
10. Don’t Abuse Cord. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp
edges.
11. Secure Work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer
than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
12. Don’t Overreach / Maintain Control. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
13. 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 repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Don’
ool.
t force small tool or attachment to do the
14. Disconnect Tools. When not in use, before servicing and
when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters.
15. Remove Adjusting Keys and Wrenches. Form habit of
checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from tool before turning it on.
16. Avoid Unintentional Starting. Don’t carry tool with finger on
switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
16A. Extension Cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavler the cord.

17. Outdoor Use Extension Cords. When tool is used outdoors,
use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so
marked.
18. Stay Alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate tool when you are tired.
19. Check Damaged Parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard
or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction
manual. Have defective switches replaced by authorized service
center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
20. Only use accessories and attachments which are given in the
operating instructions or in the respective catalogue. The use of
accessories or insert tools or attachments other than those specified in the operating instructions can result in personal injury to
you.
21. Only have repairs carried out by recognized electrical specialists. This electric tool/machine complies with respective safety
regulations. Repairs may only be carried out by an electrical specialist otherwise an accident hazard for the operator can exist.
22. Wear ear protectors when using for extended periods.
23. Always use any supplied side handle, and keep it tightly
secured; use both hands during operation. Keep proper footing
and balance and don’t overreach. Firm control of the tool is necessary should the tool bind.
24. Hold Tool by Handle(s) Provided. Do not touch uninsulated
parts of tool when drilling. Exposed metal surfaces may be made
live if the tool drills into electrical wiring.
25. Grounding instructions. This tool should be grounded while
in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The tool is
equipped with a 3-conductor cord and 3-prong grounding type
plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or
green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire.
Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal. If your unit is for use on less than 150 V, it has a plug that looks
like that shown in sketch (A) in Figure «Grounding Methods». If it is
for use on 150 to 250 V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in
sketch (D). An adapter, see sketches (B) and (C), is available for
connecting sketch (A) type plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The
green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like, extending from the adapter
must be connected in a permanent ground, such as a properly
grounded outlet box. No adapter is available for a plug as
in sketch (D).

26. Extension Cords. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have
3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool’s plug. Replace or repair damaged cords.
Please read and take note of these precautions before you use the
tool/machine and always keep this safety precautions with the
tool.
