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
Electrical safety
4 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.
5 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.
6 Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
7 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.
8 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 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.
10 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
11 Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before
plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
12 Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning
the tool on. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating
part of the tool may result in personal injury.
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.
