RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
• IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS •
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Work area safety:
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Electrical safety:
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use
of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety:
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care:
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service:
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
OTHER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
When using electric garden appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be used to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Only use UL
listed extension cords suitable for outdoor use, such as Type SW-A, STW-A. STOW-A,
SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
• Extension Cords: Make sure the extension cord is in good condition, is heavy enough to carry the current
that the unit will draw. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge cord. An undersized extension cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power and overheating. The table shown illustrates the
correct size to use depending on the cord length and nameplate amperage rating.
MINIMUM WIRE SIZE FOR EXTENSION CORDS FOR 120 VOLT APPLIANCES USING 6-10 AMPS
Cord Length (ft.) 25
Wire Size (AWG) 18
• If the extension cord is damaged in any manner while plugged in, disconnect the extension cord from
both the house and the unit. Do not re-use until the extension cord has been repaired or replaced.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to
be used for this unit. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for
an added measure of safety.
• Wear safety glasses or goggles with side shields that are marked as meeting ANSI Z87.1-1989
standards, and ear/hearing protection when operating this unit. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation
is dusty.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintain cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Allow the unit to cool before storing or transporting. Be sure to secure the unit while transporting.
• Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other liquid. Keep handles dry, clean and free from debris.
Clean after each use.
• Keep these instructions. Refer to them often and use them to instruct other users. If loaning someone this
unit, also loan them these instructions.
