Electrical Safety - Craftsman 320.28195 Product Manual

Always secure your work. Use clamps or a vise to hold workpiece securely.
It is safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. A dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hardhat, and hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
Do not use a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface
enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Always use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool and blade for your application.
The correct tool and blade will do the job better and more safely at the rate
for which they are designed.
Do not use the tool if switch does not turn it "On" or "Off." Any tool 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 storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Never leave the tool running. Always turn it off. Do not leave the tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended for this tool. Accessories
that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
,_ WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of the plug when
inserting or removing the plug from the outlet.
Double-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.
