Electrical Warnings And Cautions - General International BS5202 Setup And Operation Manual

26. DO NOT GET DISTRACTED
and always concentrate on what you are doing. Use common sense.
Never operate the machine when you are tired, sick, or under the
influence of alcohol, or other drugs.
27. LOCK THE SWITCH IN THE "OFF" POSITION
to prevent unauthorized use. Someone else might accidentally start the
machine and cause injury to themselves.
28. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct other users. If you
lend someone this unit, also lend them the instructions.
29. FAILURE TO FOLLOW OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS IN THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAN RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY.
Read the manual before starting or operating this unit.
HEALTH NOTICE: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contain chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
─Lead from lead-based paints
─Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
─Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in
a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
ELECTRICAL
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
1. BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE to the power source, verify
that the voltage of your power supply corresponds with the voltage
specified on the motor I.D. nameplate. A power source with greater
voltage than needed can result in serious injury to the user as well
as damage to the machine. If in doubt, contact a qualified electrician
before connecting to the power source.
2. MAKE SURE YOUR FINGERS
do not contact the terminals of the power cord plug when plugging in or
unplugging the saw.
3. GROUNDED TOOLS MUST BE PLUGGED INTO AN OUTLET THAT
ITSELF IS PROPERLY INSTALLED AND GROUNDED.
Grounding provides a low-resistance path to carry electricity to ground
away from the operator, should the tool malfunction electrically.
4. DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD.
Never carry your tool by the cord or pull on the cord to unplug it.
Protect the cord from potential sources of damage: heat, oil & solvents,
sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
5. WHEN WORKING OUTDOORS, USE AN OUTDOOR-RATED
EXTENSION CORD.
An extension cord rated for outdoor use must be marked "W-A" or "W".
6. THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY.
Do not expose electrical power tools to moisture. Rain or wet
conditions can cause water to enter the tool and lead to electric shock.
7. FOLLOW ALL LOCALLY APPLICABLE WIRING CODES
and recommended electrical connections to prevent shock or
electrocution.
