POWER TOOL SAFETY

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS POWER TOOL

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how to use your power tool.

CAUTION

To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, do not plug the tool in until you have read and understood the following.

1.READ and become familiar with the entire Operator’s

Manual. LEARN the tool’s application, limitations and possible hazards.

2.KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

3.REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning ON.

4.KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

5.DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use power tools in damp locations, or expose them to rain or snow. Keep work area well lit.

6.KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors and bystanders should be kept a safe distance from work area.

7.MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

8.DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

9.USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

10.USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will result in

a drop in line voltage and in loss of power which will cause the tool to overheat. The table on page

10 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

11.WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

12.ALWAYS WEAR EYE

PROTECTION. Any power tool can throw foreign objects into the eyes and

could cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Safety standard Z87.1. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact–resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses. Safety Goggles are available at sears.
