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
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches
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.
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
the three wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system.
5. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes,
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
6. Do not 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
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 tool 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
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, 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 wrenches before
turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
and hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions. Ordinary eye or sun
glasses are NOT eye protection.
Tool Use and Care
15. Use clamps or other practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
