General Safety Rules

WARNING! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and
dark areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating
a power 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 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. Applicable only to Class I
(grounded) tools.
• 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
the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system. Applicable only to Class II (double
insulated) tools.
• 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.
• Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools
or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• 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. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The following table shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
