2 General Safety Rules
1 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.
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 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
the three-wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system.
Applicable only to Class II (double insulated) tools.
3.2 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.
3.3 Don't expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
3.4 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.
3.5 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.
4 Personal Safety
4.1 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 when operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
