"READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS" -- Failure to follow the SAFETY RULES identified by BULLET (I) symbol
listed BELOW and other safety precautions, may result in serious personal injury.
General Safety Rules
For Bench Top Tools
W0rk Area
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.
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
Stay alert,
watch
what
you are doing
and use
common
sense
when operating
a power
tool.
A
moment
of inattention
or use of drugs,
alcohol
or
medication
while
operating
power
tools
can be
dangerous.
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.
Roll long sleeves above elbows. Rubber gloves and non-
skid
footwear
are recommended
when
working
outdoors.
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.
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.
Do not stand on tool or its stand.
Serious injury may
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.
Use safety equipment.
Always wear safety goggles.
Dust mask, safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection
must be used for appropriate
conditions.
Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses. They are
NOT safety glasses
