General Safety Rules
for Bench Top Tools
• Keep 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.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• Do not leave tool running unattended, turn power off.
Do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• mAKe WoRKShop chilDpRoof with padlock,
master switches, or by removing starter keys.
electrical Safety
• Before plugging in the tool, be certain the outlet
voltage supplied is compatible with the voltage
marked on the nameplate within 10%. An outlet voltage
incompatible with that specified on the nameplate can
result in serious hazards and damage to the tool.
• 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 eliminates the need for the
three wire grounded power cord and grounded power
supply.
• 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.

Safety
• 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.
personal Safety

and gloves away from moving parts. loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch "ON"
invites accidents.
• 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 will be thrown.
• Do not overreach, keep proper footing and balance at
all times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.

occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
accidentally contacted. Do not store materials on or near
the tool such that it is necessary to stand on the tool or its
stand to reach them.
