Work Area Safety

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flam mable liquids,
gases, or dust. Tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and by-standers away while operat-
ing a tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

• 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 out-
let is properly grounded. If the tool should electrical-
ly malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

® Pipe Freezing Units
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is
grounded.
• Do not expose the equipment to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a tool will increase the risk of
electrical shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, pulling or unplugging the tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Dam aged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a tool outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These cords
are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a tool. Do not use a
tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A mo ment of inat-
tention while operating tools may result in serious
personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
