GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Your SINK MACHINE has many features that will make your job
faster and easier. Safety, performance and reliability have been
given top priority in the design of this tool, qualities to make
easy to maintain and to operate.
WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all indications listed below, may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious personal injury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
SAFETY IN WORKING AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and
dark areas may cause accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Some
power tools create sparks which may provoke fire.
Keep away observers, children and visitors while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRIC SAFETY
Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire
grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
Avoid the body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators 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. The pre-
cense of water into power tools will increase the risk of electric
shock.
Do not abuse of the power cord. Never use the power cord to
carry the tool and do not pull the plug off the outlet. Keep the
cable away of 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 exten-
sion cord marked "W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for out-
door use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
EXTENSION CORDS
Replace damaged cords immediately. The use of damaged cords
can shock, burn or electric shock. If an extension cord is neces-
sary, a cord with adequate size conductors should be used to
prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating.
The table below shows the correct size to use, depending on
cord length and nameplate amperage rating of tools. In case of
doubt use the next heavier gauge. Always use UL listed exten-
sion cords.
SIZE RECOMMEND EXTENSION CABLES
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Don't use the tool if you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may cause
a serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain
long hair. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away of moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in mov-
ing parts.
Avoid an accidental starting. Be sure that the switch is OFF be-
fore plugging in. Carrying tools with the finger on the switch or
plug in the tool switch in ON may cause accidents.
Remove the adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the
tool on. A wrench or a key that is left close to a rotating part of
the tool may provoke a personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tools
on unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask,
nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be
used for appropriate conditions.
Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, out-
let, etc.) be sure that the voltage supplied is the same as that
one specified on the nameplate of the tool. To use a not speci-
fied voltage may cause a serious injury to the user as well as
damage the tool.
IMPORTANT: This appliance is not intended for use by per-
sons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities may be different or reduced, or lack of ex-
perience or knowledge, unless such persons are supervised or
trained to operate the product by a person responsible for their
safety. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not use
the devices as toys.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct tool for the appli-
cation. The correct tool will do the job better and more safely
at the rate that it was designed to work at.
Do not use tools 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. This pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of accidental starting
of the tool.
When the power tool is not in use, store it out of the reach
of children, and do not allow individuals who are not familiar
with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands on untrained users.
Maintain the power tool. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, broken parts, and any other condition that may
affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, have
it repaired before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
