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

a qualified electrician if you are in

doubt 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 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.

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. Do not expose power tools to rain

or wet conditions. Water entering a

power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

5. Do not abuse the Power Cord.

Never use the Power Cord to carry

the tool 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.

6. When operating a power tool

outside, sue an outdoor extension

cord marker “W-A” or “W”. These

extension cords are rated for outdoor

use, and reduce the risk of electric

shock.

Personal Safety

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Avoid accidental staring. Be sure

the Power Switch is off before

plugging in. Carrying power tools

with your finger on the Power Switch,

or plugging in power tools with the

Power Switch on, invites accidents.

4. Remove adjusting keys or

wrenches before turning the power

tool on. A wrench or a key that is left

attached to a rotating part of the power

tool may result in personal injury.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

Proper footing and balance enables

better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

6. Use safety equipment. Always wear

Page 6

eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid

safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing

protection must be used for

appropriate conditions.

Tool Use and Care

1. Use clamps (not included) or other

practical ways to secure and

support the workpiece to a stable

platform. Holding the work piece by

hand to against your body is unstable

and may lead to loss of control.

2. Do not force the tool. Use the

correct tool for your application.

The correct tool will do the job better

and safer at the rate for which it is

designed.

3. Do not use the power tool if the

Power Switch does not turn it on or

off. Any tool that cannot be controlled

with the Power Switch is dangerous

and must be replaced.

4. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug

from the power source before

making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing the tool.

Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the tool

accidentally.

5. Store idle tools out of reach of

children and other untrained

persons. Tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

6. Maintain tools with care. Keep

cutting tools maintained and clean.

Properly maintained tools are less

likely to bind and are easier to control.

Do not use a damaged tool. Tag

damaged tools “Do not use” until

repaired

7. Check for misalignment or binding

of moving parts, breakage of parts,

and any other condition that may

affect the tool’s operation. If

damaged, have the tool serviced

before using. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained tools.

8. Use only accessories that are

recommended by the manufacturer

for your model. Accessories that may

be suitable for one tool may become

hazardous when used on another tool.

Service

1. Tool service must be performed only

by qualified repair personnel. Service

or maintenance performed by

unqualified personnel could result in a

risk of injury.

2. When servicing a tool, use only

identical replacement parts. Use of

unauthorized parts or failure to follow

maintenance instructions may create a

risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

resistant ear plugs or ear muffs to

keep sparks out of ears.

8. Prevent accidental fires. Remove

any combustible material from the

work area.

a. When possible, move the work to

a location well away from

combustible; protect the

combustibles with a cover made of

fire resistant material.

b. Remove or make safe all

combustible materials for a radius

of 35 feet (10 meters) around the

work area. Use a fire resistant

material to cover or block all open

doorways, windows, cracks, and

other openings.

c. Enclose the work area with

portable fire resistant screens.

Protect combustible walls, ceilings,

floors, etc., from sparks and heat

with fire resistant covers.

d. If working on a metal wall, ceiling,

etc., prevent ignition of

combustibles on the other side by

mobbing the combustibles to a

safe location. If relocation of

combustibles is not possible,

designate someone to serve as a

fire watch, equipped with a fire

extinguisher, during the welding

process and for at least one half

hour after the welding is

completed.

e. Do not weld or cut on materials

having a combustible coating or

combustible internal structure, as

in walls or ceilings, without an

approved method for eliminating

the hazard.

f. Do not dispose of hot slag in

containers holding combustible

materials. Keep a fire extinguisher

nearby and know how to use it.

g. After welding or cutting, make a

thorough examination for evidence

of fire. Be aware that easily visible

smoke or flame may not be

Page 8

present for some time after the fire

has started. Do not weld or cut in

atmospheres containing

h. Dangerously reactive or

flammable gases, vapors, liquids,

and dust.

i. Provide adequate ventilation in

work areas to prevent

accumulation of flammable gases,

vapors, and dust. Do not apply

heat to a container that has held

an unknown substance or a

combustible material whose

contents, when heated, can

produce flammable or explosive

vapors. Clean and purge

containers before applying heat.

Vent closed containers, including

castings, before preheating,

welding, or cutting.

9. Avoid overexposure to fumes and

gases. Always keep your head out of

the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.

Use enough ventilation or exhaust, or

both, to keep fumes and gases from

your breathing zone and general area.

! Where ventilation is questionable,

have a qualified technician take

an air sampling to determine the

need for corrective measures.

Use mechanical ventilation to

improve air quality. If engineering

controls are not feasible, use an

approved respirator.

! Work in a confined area only if it

is well ventilated, or while

wearing an air-supplied

respirator.

! Follow OSHA guidelines for

Permissible Exposure Limits

(PEL’s) for various fumes and

gases.

! Follow the American Conference

of Governmental Industrial

Hygienists recommendations for

Threshold Limit Values (TLV’s)

for fumes and gases.

! Have a recognized specialist in

Industrial Hygiene or

Environmental Services check

the operation and air quality and

make recommendations for the

specific welding or cutting

situation.

10. Always keep hoses away from

welding/cutting spot. Examine all

hoses and cables for cuts, burns, or

worn areas before each use. If any

damaged areas are found, replace the

hoses or cables immediately.
