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.
WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in potentially
explosive environments, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gas or dust.
Power tools create sparks that may ignite dust
or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors away
while operating the tool. Distractions can cause
the operator to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Double insulated tools are equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will only fit into a polarized plug
one way.
If the plug does not fit into the outlet properly,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet.
Do not alter the plug in any way. Double
insulation eliminates the need for the three-
pronged grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system.
Avoid contact between the operator's body and
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if the operator's body is
grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Do not use the power
cord to carry the tool or to pull the plug out of
the outlet. Keep the power cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges, and moving parts. Replace a
damaged power cord immediately. A damaged
power cord increases the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
outdoor-rated extension cord type
“W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor
use and they reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, be aware of the surroundings, and
use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating a power tool may result in serious
personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery.
Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing,
jewellery, or long hair can get caught in moving
parts.
