GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read, understand and save all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire or serious personal injury. The
warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator
that common sense and caution are a factor which cannot be built into this product, but
must be supplied by the operator.
SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS!
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well organized. 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.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. 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 eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system.
2. 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.
3. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords may create a risk of fire, or electric shock.
4. The use of any extension cord will cause some loss in the voltage. This will result in a
loss of power and overheating. To keep it at a minimum, and to prevent the motor
from burning out, avoid using an extension cord. If an extension cord must be used,
it must be no longer than 25 feet with a minimum wire size not less than 14 AWG.
5. 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
1. 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.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Wear protective goggles when
operating the machine. It is recommended to wear protective goggles, gloves, sturdy
non-slipping shoes and an apron.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure trigger switch is not engaged before connecting to
a power outlet. Carrying tools with your finger on the trigger switch when the switch
is engaged invites accidents. Disconnect tool from power outlet before carrying out
any work on the machine.
4. Remove adjusting wrenches or Switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or key
that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool my result in personal injury.
