GENERAL SAFETY RULES
USA0021
(For
All
Tools)
WARNING!
Read and understand all instructions. Failure
to follow
all
instructions listed below, may result
in
electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE
THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
1.
Keep your work area clean and well
lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
2.
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.
3.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.

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
I3
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.
Do not 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 immediately. 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.
Personal Safety
9.
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
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result
in
serious personal injury.
IO.
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.
