GENERAL SAFETY RULES
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"
1. WORK AREA
1.1 KEEP YOUR WORK AREA CLEAN AND
WELL LIT.
Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
1.2 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.
1.3 KEEP BYSTANDERS, CHILDREN, AND
VISITORS AWAY WHILE OPERATING A
POWER TOOL.
Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
2.1
DOUBLE LNSULATED 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.
2.2 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
.
2.3 DON’T EXPOSE POWER TOOLS TO RAIN
OR WET CONDITIONS.
Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
2.4 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.
2.5 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.
Recommended Minimum Wire Gauge
for Extension Cords
3. PERSONAL SAFETY.
3.1 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 while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
3.2 DRESS PROPERLY. DO NOT WEAR LOOSE
CLOTHING OR JEWELRY. CONTAIN LONG
HAIR. KEEP YOUR HAIR, CLOTHING, AND
GLOVES AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS
.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
3.3 AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. BE SURE
SWITCH IS OFF BEFORE PLUGGING IN.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
3.4 REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS OR
SWITCHES BEFORE TURNING THE TOOL
ON.
A wrench or a key that is left attached to
a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
3.5 DO NOT OVERREACH. KEEP PROPER
FOOTING AND BALANCE AT ALL TIMES.
Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
3.6 USE SAFETY EQUIPMENT. ALWAYS WEAR
EYE PROTECTION.
Dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
must be used for appropriate conditions.
4. TOOL USE AND CARE
4.1 USE CLAMPS OR OTHER PRACTICAL
WAY TO SECURE AND SUPPORT THE
WORKPIECE TO A STABLE PLATFORM.
Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
4.2 DO NOT FORCE TOOL. USE THE
CORRECT TOOL FOR YOUR
APPLICATION
. The correct tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
4.3 DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT
TURN IT ON OR OFF.
Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
4.4 DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE
POWER SOURCE BEFORE MAKING ANY
ADJUSTMENTS,CHANGING
ACCESSORIES, OR STORING THE TOOL.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
4.5 STORE IDLE TOOLS OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN AND OTHER UNTRAINED
PERSONS.
Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users
.
4.6 MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. KEEP
CUTTING TOOLS SHARP AND CLEAN.
Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
4.7 CHECK FOR MISALIGNMENT OR
BINDING OF MOVING PARTS, BREAKAGE
OF PARTS, AND ANY OTHER CONDITION
THAT MAY AFFECT THE TOOLS
OPERATION. IF DAMAGED, HAVE THE
TOOL SERVICED BEFORE USING.
Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools
.
4.8 USE ONLY ACCESSORIES THAT ARE
RECOMMENDED BY
THE MANUFACTURER
FOR YOUR MODEL.
Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool, may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
5. SERVICE
5.1 TOOL SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED
ONLY BY QUALIFIED REPAIR
PERSONNEL.
Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could
result in a risk of injury.
5.2
WHEN SERVICING A TOOL, USE ONLY
IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS IN THE
MAINTENANCE SECTION OF THIS
MANUAL.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure
to follow Maintenance instructions may create
a risk of electric shock or injury.
WARNING
Check the outlet voltage to be sure it matches the voltage listed on the unit’s
nameplate. Using your tool at voltages more than 10% greater is potentially
dangerous and constitutes misuse. This includes using voltage boosters.
