IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Work Area
1-1 Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
1-2 Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
1-3 Keep bystanders, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause the operator to lose control.
2. Electrical Safety
2-1 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 qualifi ed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should
electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the
user.
2-2 Avoid body contact with grounded parts such as pipes, metal structures or other electrical products. There is an
increased risk of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
2-3 Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electrical
shock.
2-4 Don’t abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet by the cord. Keep the cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
2-5 When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension marked ‘W-A’ or ‘W’. These cords are rated for outdoor
use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal Safety
3-1 Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tools when
tired or under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A momentary lack of attention while operating a power
tool may result in serious personal injury.
3-2 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
3-3 Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the trigger switch is off before plugging the tool in. Carrying tools with the
trigger held on or plugging in tools with the trigger switch on invites accidents.
3-4 Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning on the tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part
of the tool may result in personal injury.
3-5 Do not overreach. Keep a proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
3-6 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, hardhat, or hearing protection
must be used for appropriate conditions.
