all instructions listed below, may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTIONS
1.1
Work Area
- Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
- 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.
- Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating
a
power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
1.2
Electrical Safety
- Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any plugs. Check with
a
qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
If the
tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides
a
low resistance
path to carry electricity away from the user.
- Avoid body contact with grounded surface ad pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
- Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering
a
power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock
- 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 i mmediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
- 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.
1.3
Personal Safety
- 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
