instructions that could lead to equipment or other
property damage if they are not followed. Each message
is preceded by the word”NOTE,” as in the example below:
NOTE: Equipment and/or property damage may result if
these instructions are not followed.
WORK-AREA SAFETY
• KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• DON’T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t
use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose them
to rain. Don’t operate power tools in potentially explosive
environments, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
• OPERATE THE TOOL IN WELL-VENTILATED AREAS,
and provide proper dust removal. Dust generated from
some materials can be hazardous to your health. Use
dust-collection systems whenever possible.
• KEEP CHILDREN AND BYSTANDERS AWAY. All
visitors should be kept a safe distance away from the
work area.
• USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force a tool or attachment
to do a job for which it was not designed.
• MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with padlocks,
master switches, or by removing starter keys.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep
all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch
plug with wet hands.
• VOLTAGE: Before plugging in the tool, make sure that
the outlet voltage is within the voltage marked on the
tool’s data plate.
• DO NOT USE “AC ONLY” RATED TOOLS WITH A DC
POWER SUPPLY.
• DO NOT EXPOSE POWER TOOLS TO RAIN OR WET
CONDITIONS. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
• If operating the power tool in damp locations is
unavoidable, always use a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter to supply power to your tool. Always wear
electrician's rubber gloves and footwear in damp
conditions.
• DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD. Never use the cord to
carry the tools or to pull the plug from the outlet. Keep
the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving
parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD.
Extension Cords
Use only extension cords that are intended for out door
use. These extension cords are identified by a marking
“Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances, store indoors
while not in use.”
Use only extension cords having an electrical rating
equal to or greater than the rating of the product. Do not
use damaged extension cords. Examine the extension
cord before using, and replace it if it is damaged. Do not
abuse extension cords, and do not yank on any cord to
dis connect it. Keep the cord away from heat and sharp
edges. Always disconnect the extension cord from the
receptacle before disconnecting the product from the
extension cord.
•
Make sure that 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.
•
Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge: the smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
•
When operating a power tool outdoors, ALWAYS use
an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W.” These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
•
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
tool’s plug.
