Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite acci-
dents.
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.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
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
Class II Equipment eliminates the need for the three wire
grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
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 ground-
ed.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug
from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked
"W-A" or "W."
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use 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.
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.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in.
