SAFETY SYMBOLS
Easy Rooter™
Electric shock resulting in
death can occur if you plug
this machine into an improp-
erly wired outlet. If the ground
wire is electrified, you can be
electrocuted by just touching
the machine, even when the
power switch is off.
A ground
fault circuit interrupter will not pro-
tect you in this situation. Use a
UL approved tester to determine
if the outlet is safe.
Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flamma-
ble liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
Only wear leather gloves.
Never use any other type of
glove, such as cloth, rubber, or
coated gloves. Never grasp a
rotating cable with a rag.
These items could become
wrapped around the cable and
cause serious injury.
Always wear safety glasses
and rubber soled, non-slip
shoes.
Use of this safety equip-
ment may prevent serious injury.
Never operate machine with
belt guard removed.
Fingers
can get caught between belt and
pulley.
Do not overstress cables.
Overstressing cables may cause
twisting, kinking, or breaking of
the cable and may result in seri-
ous injury.

used to alert you to potential personal

sages that follow this symbol to avoid
