Work Area Safety; Electrical Safety - Craftsman NEXTEC HAMMERHEAD 320.30261 Operator's Manual

• Keep the Auto=Hammer dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Always
use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products or any strong solvent to clean the hammer.
• Do not expose the Auto=Hammer to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering the tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the auto-hammer in unexpected situations. Do not
use on a ladder or unstable support.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep the 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 (GFCl) protected supply. Use of a GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use the tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
