"READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS" — Failure to follow the SAFETY RULES
W RNING
identified by BULLET (•) symbol listed BELOW and other safety precautions,
may result in serious personal injury.
Work Area
• Keep 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.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Do not leave tool running unattended,
turn power off. Do not leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
• MAKE WORKSHOp CHIlDpROOf with
padlock, master switches, or by removing
starter keys.
Electrical Safety
• Before plugging in the tool, be certain the
outlet voltage supplied is compatible with
the voltage marked on the nameplate
within 10%. An outlet voltage incompatible
with that specified on the nameplate can
result in serious hazards and damage to the
tool.
• 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.
• 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.
General Safety Rules for Bench Top Tools
"SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS"
Safety
• 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. A moment of inattention or use
of drugs, alcohol or medication while
operating power tools can be dangerous.
• 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.
Roll long sleeves above elbows. Rubber
gloves and non-skid footwear are
recommended when working outdoors.
• 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 wrenches
before turning the tool "ON". A wrench or
a key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the tool will be thrown.
• Do not overreach, keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the tool
in unexpected situations.
