Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from debris
such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
4.
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
5.
will increase the risk of electric shock.
6.
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the
tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance
path to carry electricity away from the user.
Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools or pull
7.
the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges,
or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power
Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked
8.
"W-A" or "W". These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk
of electric shock.
9.
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power 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.
10.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from arc. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can catch fire.
11.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in power tools
with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A wrench
12.
or a key that is 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. Proper footing
13.
and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
14.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. For welding safety equipment,
refer to number 7 on page 6.
