General Safety Rules
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
?? Keep your work area clean and well lit. 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 dust or fumes.
?? Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
?? 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 adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
?? Do not operate power tools under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating a power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
?? Dress properly. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
?? Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
a tool that have the switch on invites an accident.
?? Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
?? Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard-hat, or hearing protection must be used
for appropriate conditions.
?? Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
?? Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. These
preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
?? 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 "WA " or "W". These cords are rated to outdoor use
and reduce the risk of electric shock. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The smaller the
gage number, the heavier the cord.
?? Do not touch any metal part of the tool when drilling or driving into walls, floors or wherever live electrical wires may be
encountered. Hold the tool only by insulated grasping handles to prevent electric shock if you drill or drive into a live wire.
TOOL USE AND CARE, PERSONAL SAFETY
?? Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to a loss of control.
?? Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer if used at rate for which it is
designed.
?? Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use the tool while tired.
?? Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
?? Maintain tools, keep them clean.
?? Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Poorly maintained tools cause many accidents.
?? Use only accessories and screws that are recommended by Muro for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become
hazardous when used on another tool.
