GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING:
1. Work Area
(1) Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
(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 of fumes.
(3) Keep bystanders children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2. Electrical Safety
(1) Double Insulated tools are equipped with
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install a polarized outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way.
Double Insulation
for the three wire grounded power cord
and grounded power supply system.
(2) 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.
(3) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
(4) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord to carry the tools or pull the plug
from a receptacle. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
eliminates the need
Damaged cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
(5) When operating a power tool outside,
use an outdoor extension cord marked
"W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for
outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
3. Personal Safety
(1) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while
tires or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
(2) 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.
(3) Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch
is off before plugging in. Carrying tools
with your finger on the switch or
plugging in tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
(4) Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool on. A wrench or
a key that is left attached to a rotating
part of the tool may result in personal
injury.
(5) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
(6) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
must be used for appropriate conditions.
