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 operating
a
power tool.
Distractions can cause you to
losecontrol.
ELECTRICAL S AFETY
.
Dauble 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 [Q] 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 and refrigerators. There is an
increased
risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
.
Dan'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 ports. 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.
PERSONALSAFETY

tool while tired or under the inAuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while

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.
.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool
on. A wrench or key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the tool may result in personal
injury.
.

that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or

Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
