SECTION 1 - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Work Area:
1-1 Keep your work area clean and unobstructed.
- Cluttered and poorly lit work areas invite accidents.
1-2 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.
1-3 Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a
power tool.
- Distractions can cause you to lose control of the tool.
2. Electrical Safety:
2-1 Grounded tools must be plugged into a properly installed outlet and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never
remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not
use adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you think the
outlet may not be properly grounded.
-If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, proper
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user.
2-2 Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). This plug will only fit in a polarized
outlet one way. If the plug does not fully fit in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
2-3 Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
- Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
2-4 Do not operate power tools in damp or wet locations.
- Operating tools in these conditions will increase the risk of electric
shock.
