Electrical Safety
4. 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.
5. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
6. 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 adapter 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.
7. This Double insulated Hammer Drill is 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.
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.
