Electrical Safety
'lh
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded
power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
f°
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment.
Always wear eye
protection.
Safety equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch/trigger is in the off-position
before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or energizing power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.

For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.
Do not abuse the cord.
Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part
of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Only use safety equipment that has been approved
by an appropriate standards agency.
Unapproved
safety equipment may not provide adequate
protection.
Eye protection must be ANSI-approved
and breathing protection must be NIOSH-approved
for the specific hazards in the work area.
