IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and
personal injury, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate
layers of electrical insulation or one double thickness of insulation
between you and the tool's electrical system. Tools built with this insu-
lation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your tool is
equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to use extension
cords without concern for maintaining a ground connection.
NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety pre-
cautions when operating this tool. The insulation system is for added
protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation
failure within the tobl.
CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACE-
MENT PARTS. Repair or replace damaged cords.
POLARIZED PLUGS
Polarized plugs (one blade is wider than the other) are used on equip-
ment to reduce the risk of electric shock. When provided, this plug will
fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified elec-
trician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL TOOLS
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite
injuries.
2. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't expose power
tools to rain. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep
work area well lit. Do not use tool in presence of flammable liquids
or gases.
3. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact
with grounded surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerator enclosures.
4. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Do not let visitors contact tool or exten-
sion cord. All visitors should be kept away from work area.
5. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in
dry, and high or locked-up place -- out of reach of children.
6. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was intended.
7. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the
job of a heavy-duty tool. Don't use tool for purpose not intended.
8. DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They
can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protec-
tive hair covering to contain long hair.
9. USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if operation
is dusty.
10. DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to dis-
connect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp
edges.
11. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer
than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
12. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
13. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for
better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if
damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep han-
dles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
14. DISCONNECT OR LOCK OFF TOOLS when not in use, before
servicing, and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters.
16. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of
checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from tool before turning it on.
17. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don't carry tool with finger
on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
18. EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord.
