properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock in the
event of a malfunction or breakdown.
DO NOT modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Risk of electric shock will result from an improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor. The conductor with insulation is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
If grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
electric sharpener is properly grounded, consult with a qualified electrician or service
personnel.
ONLY use 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles
that accept the electric sharpener’s plug.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intend for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less
than 150 V:
This electric sharpener is intended for use on a circuit that has a 3-pole, grounded outlet. A
temporary adapter may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form a habit of checking that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the electric sharpener before turning it on.
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Keep work area well
lighted.
• DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All by-standers should be kept at a safe distance from the work area.
• DO NOT FORCE THE ELECTRIC SHARPENER. This tool will perform its job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Do not use the electric sharpener to do a job for which it was not designed.
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Ensure that your extension cord is in good condition, and that
it is heavy enough to carry the current the electric sharpener will draw.
• WEAR APPROPRIATE APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets,
or other jewelry. These may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is also recommended.
Protective hair covering should be worn to contain long hair.
• ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. This frees both hands to
operate the electric sharpener.
• DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• MAINTAIN ELECTRIC SHARPENER WITH CARE. Keep all parts operating and clean for best
and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
