WORK AREA
[] Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents_
B Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as In the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases, or dust. Powertoolscreatesparkswhich
may ignitethe dust or fumes.
[] Keep bystanders,children, and visitors away while
operating a power toot. Distractions can causeyou to
lose control,
ELECTRICAL
SAFETY
[] Double insulated tools are equtpped with a polar-
ized 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 anyway. Double Insulation []
eliminates the need
for the three-wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system.
= 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°
II Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the riskof
electric shock,
[] Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged
cords increase the risk of eiectdc shock.
[] When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked "W-A" or WV". These cords
are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock.

of untrained users.
[] Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Property maintained tows with sharp cut-
ting edges are tess 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 poody maintained t ools,
[] Use cnhJaccessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one toot, may become hazardous when
used on another tool
