6. 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.
7. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
8. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools or pull
the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or
moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power Cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
9. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A”
or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric
shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, 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 power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
11. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your
hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
12. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging in. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in power tools with the Power
Switch on, invites accidents.
13. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
15. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
16. Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece
to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
17. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
18. Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
19. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
