Chicago Electric 94245 operating instructions Grounding

23.Do not force the Circular Saw. This tool will do the work better and safer at the speed and capacity for which it was designed.

24.Always unplug the Circular Saw from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.

25.Never leave the Circular Saw unattended while running. Turn power off if you have to leave the Circular Saw.

26.Before each use, check all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness.

27.Keep extension cord off the ground and away from water.

28.Always connect the Line Cord to a Ground protected electrical outlet.

29.WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using this product. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference to or failure of the pacemaker.

In addition, people with pacemakers should adhere to the following:

•Avoid operating power tools alone.

•Don’t use a power tool with the power switch locked on.

•Be certain that the tool is properly grounded. A ground fault interrupt (GFCI) system is also a good precaution. This inexpensive device is a good safety measure because it prevents a sustained electrical shock.

•Properly maintain and inspect all tools before use to avoid electrical shock.

30.Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities, contains chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

GROUNDING

WARNING!

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool or product. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
