WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit. 1. 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. Generators create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. 3.
Provide barriers or shields as needed.
ELEcTRicAL SAFETY
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded 4.
in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding
prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. check with
a qualified 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.
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider
5.
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.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
6.
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
