Warning:
When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of a fire, electric shock, and personal injury,
including the following:
1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
2. Consider work area environment. Do not expose tools to rain. Keep
work area well lit. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations.
Do not use tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
3. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces.
For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
4. Keep children away. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. All
visitors should be kept away from work area.
5. Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, or locked
up place - out of the reach of children.
6. Do not force tool. It will do a better and safer job at its intended rate.
7. Use the right tool. Do not force a small tool or attachment to do the job of
a heavy duty tool. Do not use tool for purposes not intended.
8. Dress properly. Do not wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry. They can be
caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
9. Use safety glasses. Also use face-shield or dust mask if operation area is dusty.
10.Do not abuse cord. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
11. Secure work. Use clamps or a vice to hold workpiece. It's safer than using
your hand and it frees up both hands to operate tool.
12.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
13.Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean for better use and safer
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized

14.Do not leave tool running. Disconnect tools when not in use, before
servicing, when changing belts, contact arms, etc.
15.Remove keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that all
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
16.Avoid accidental starting. Do not carry around plugged in tool with finger
on lever. Be sure lever is off when plugging in.
17.Out-door use extension cords. When tool is used outdoors, use only
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. They should be marked with the
suffix W-A (for UL) or W (for CSA in Canada).
18.Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not
operate tool when you are tired.
19.Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, breakage of moving parts, binding of moving parts, mounting and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is

General Safety Rules

Electric Dynafile
19.(Cont.) service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this
instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced. Do not use
tool if switch does not turn tool on or off.
20.Avoid gaseous areas. Do not operate portable electric tools in
gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors in these tools normally
spark, and the sparks can ignite fumes.
21.Do not alter or misuse tool. This tool is precision built. Any
alteration or modification not specified is misuse and may result in a
dangerous condition. Only these accessories and attachments that
are found in this instruction manual are acceptable for use with this
tool. The use of any other accessory or attachment might present a risk
to the operator.
22.Replacement parts. When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts. When ordering replacement parts, please specify model and
serial numbers of your machine.
Voltage Warning
Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.)
be sure the voltage supplied is the same as what is specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with greater than that specified
for tool can result in serious injury to the user as well as damage to
the tool. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate
rating is harmful to the tool's motor. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool.
Double Insulation
Your Electric Dynafile® II is double-insulated to give you added
safety. This means that the tool is constructed throughout with two
separate "layers" of electrical insulation, or one double thickness of
insulation between you and the tool's electrical system.
Tools built with this type of insulation system are not intended to be
grounded. As a result, your Electric Dynafile® II is equipped with a two
prong plug which permits you to use extension cords without concern for
maintaining a ground connection.
Note: Double-insulation does not take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool. The insulation system is added
for protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical
insulation failure within the tool.
Caution: When servicing double-insulated tools, use only identical
replacement parts. Repair or replace damaged cords.
Extension Cords
Double-insulated tools have two-wire cords, and can be used with
either two-wire or three-wire extension cords. Only round jacketed
extension cords should be used, and we recommend that they be listed
by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) - (CSA in Canada). If the extension
cords will be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor use.
They should be marked with the suffix W-A (for UL) or W (for CSA in
Canada). Any cord marked as an outdoor cord can also be used for
indoor work.
Polarized Plugs: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has
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 in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Warning: Keep extension away from the immediate working area.
