2 Work Area
2.1 Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
2.2 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.
2.3 Keep bystanders, children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
3 Electrical Safety
3.1 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 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.
Applicable only to Class I (grounded) tools.
3.2 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
need for the three-wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system.
Applicable only to Class II (double insulated) tools.
3.3 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.
3.4 Don't expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
3.5 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
