GENERAL SAFETY RULES
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a po-
larized 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 quali-
fied 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. See FIG. 1.
FOR SAFE OPERATION
Consider the work area environment.
Keep your area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents. Do not expose power tools to rain. Do not use
power tools in damp or wet locations. Do not use power tools where there is risk of fire or
explosion.
Guard against electric shock.
Avoid contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radia-
tors, ranges, and refrigerators.
Keep children away.
Do not let visitors touch the tool or extension cord. All visitors should
be kept away from work area.
Store idle tools.
When not in use, tools should be stored in a high or locked up place that is
dry and out of the reach of children.
Do not force the tool.
It will do the job better and safer if used in a manner for which it was
intended.
Use the right tool.
Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a heavy duty
tool. Do not use tools for purposes not intended; for example, do not use circular saws to
cut tree limbs or logs.
Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving
parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
Wear a hair net to contain long hair.
Use safety glasses.
Also use a face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty.
Connect dust extraction equipment.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection, take measures to ensure these are connected and properly used.
Do not abuse the cord.
Never carry the tool by the cord or yank the cord to disconnect it
from the socket. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Secure your work.
Use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer than using your hand
and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
