General Safety Rules – For All Tools
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
WORK AREA
•
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches
and dark areas invite accidents.
•
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.
•
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operat-
ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•
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 qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrical-
ly malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resist-
ance path to carry electricity away from the user. Applicable
only to Class I (grounded) tools.
•
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. Applicable only to Class II (double
insulated) tools.
•
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.
•
Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
•
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.
•
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. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and over-
heating. The following table shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord.
