GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Work Area

1. Keep work area clean and well lit.
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases, or dust.
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool.
cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

1. 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 quali-
fied electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. If the tool should
electrically malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a low resistance path to carry electricity
away from the user.
2. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polar-
ized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will fit 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 system.
3. 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.
4. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
5. 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 immedi-
ately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
6. When operating a power tool outside use an out-
door extension cord marked ―W-A‖ or ―W‖. These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
7. Keep all electric connections dry and off the
ground. Reduces the risk of electric shock.
8.
Do not touch plugs or tools with wet hands. Re-
duces the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use tool while tired or under the influence of
Cluttered
Power tools create sparks
Distractions can
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inat-
tention while operating power tools may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, cloth-
ing, 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. Plugging in tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or switches before turn-
ing the tool on. A wrench or 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 bal-
ance at all times. Proper footing and balance en-
ables better control of the tool in unexpected situa-
tions.
6. Always wear safety glasses and rubber soled,
non-slip shoes. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for ap-
propriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
1. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Hold-
ing the work by hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
2. Do not force 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.
3. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
4. Disconnect the plug from the power source be-
fore making any adjustments, changing accesso-
ries, or storing the tool. Such preventative safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool acciden-
tally.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
6. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cut-
ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
7. Inspect for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained tools.
8. Only use accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
