GENERAL SAFETY RULES

!
WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive environments, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids, gas or dust. Power tools create sparks
that may ignite dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating the tool.
Distractions can cause the operator to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will only fit into a polarized plug one way.
If the plug does not fit into the outlet properly, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not alter
the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the
three-pronged grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
Avoid contact between the operator's body and grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if the operator's body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Do not use the power cord to carry the tool or to pull
the plug out of the outlet. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges, and moving parts. Replace a damaged power cord immediately. A
damaged power cord increases the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor-rated extension cord
type
"W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and they reduce the risk
of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, be aware of the surroundings, and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating a power tool may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery, or long hair can get caught in moving parts.
PERSONAL SAFETY – cont'd
Avoid accidental start-ups. Verify that the switch is in the OFF position before
plugging in the tool. Carrying a power tool with a finger on the switch or plug-
ging in a tool that has the switch in the ON position invites accidents.
