SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS
DC30A
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed in the following pages may result in electric
shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
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 flammables.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the
work area from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or
shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETYG
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.
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 eliminates
the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power
supply system.
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.
4. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
5. Do not abuse the Power Cord.Never use the Power Cord to carry the
tools or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from
