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 personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Work Area

•

Keep Your Work Area Clean and Well Lit.

•

Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

•

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

•

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 adaptor
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. (Refer to figure A below)

•

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.

•

Don't 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.

(Note) 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. Jancy recommends using a
minimum 12 gauge extension cord not to exceed 100 feet. The table below (Figure B) is supplied only as a guide to
minimum gauge for extension cords, where the smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

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. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch

or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

•

Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a

rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

•

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better

control of the tool in unexpected situations.

•

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing

protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

Tool Use and Care

•

Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by

hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

•

Do not force 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.

•

Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous

and must be repaired.

•

Disconnect the 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.

•

Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of

untrained users.

•

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

•

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect

the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained tools.

•

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

•

Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by

unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

•

When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this

manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or

injury.
