GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WORK AREA
Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in an explosive environment, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power
tool.Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
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.
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.
