Personal Safety - Klutch 3218 Owner's Manual

Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the power cord to carry the tools or pull 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 "W-A" or
"W". These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce 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 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.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the power switch is off before plugging in. Plugging in
power tools with the power switch on invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A wrench 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 and balance
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
DEMOLITION BREAKER USE AND CARE
Do not modify the Demolition Breaker in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the
function and/or safety and could affect the life of the equipment. There are specific applications
for which the Demolition Breaker was designed.
Always check of damaged or worn out parts before using the Demolition Breaker. Broken
parts will affect the Demolition Breaker operation. Replace or repair damaged or worn parts
immediately.
Store idle Demolition Breaker. When Demolition Breaker is not in use, store it in a secure
place out of the reach of children. Inspect it for good working condition prior to storage and
before re-use.
Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use the power tool if the power switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the power switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the tool accidentally.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with
a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool.
Tag damaged tools "Do not use" until repaired.
