General Safety Rules

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow

the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock,

fire and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!

Work Area

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark

areas invite accidents.

Do not operate equipment in explosive atmo-

spheres, such as in the presence of flammable

liquids, gases, or dust. Equipment can create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep children and by-standers away while oper-

ating equipment. Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

Electrical Safety

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-

faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig-

erators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock

if your body is earthed or grounded.

Do not expose equipment to rain or wet condi-

tions. Water entering equipment will increase the risk

of electrical shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the equipment.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or

moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase

the risk of electric shock.

If operating equipment in a damp location is un-

avoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter

(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces

the risk of electric shock.

Keep all electrical connections dry and off the

ground. Do not touch equipment or plugs with

wet hands. This reduces the risk of electrical shock.

Personal Safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-

mon sense when operating equipment. Do not

use equipment while you are tired or under the in-

fluence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment

of inattention while operating equipment may result in

serious personal injury.

Use personal protective equipment. Always wear

eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing

protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce

personal injuries.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance

at all times. This enables better control of the equip-

ment in unexpected situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-

elry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away

from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long

hair can be caught in moving parts.
