POWER TOOL SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THIS POWER TOOL
Safety is a combination of common
sense, staying alert and knowing how
to use your power tool.
WARNING
!
● To avoid mistakes that could
cause serious injury, do not plug
the tool in until you have read
and understood the following.
● Read all instructions before
operating product. Failure to
follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
READ and become familiar
1.
with the entire Operator's
Manual. LEARN the tool's
application, limitations and possible
hazards.
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in
working order.
3. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS
AND WRENCHES. Form the habit
of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed
from the tool before turning ON.
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.
Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.
5. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
power tools in damp locations, or
expose them to rain or snow. Keep
work area well lit.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All
visitors and bystanders should be
kept a safe distance from work area.
7. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF
with padlocks, master switches or by
removing starter keys.
8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will
do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not
force the tool or an attachment to do
a job for which it was not designed.
10. USE PROPER EXTENSION
CORDS. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to
use the one heavy enough to carry
the current that the product will
draw. An undersized cord will result
in a drop in line voltage and in loss
of power which will cause the tool
overheat. The table on page 13
shows the proper wire gauge size
usage to each extension cord length
and ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
