Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

•KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

•CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don’t expose power tools to rain. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.

•GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.

•KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from work area.

•STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, and high or locked-up place — out of reach of children.

•DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

•USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Don’t use tool for purpose not intended.

•DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided.

•USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if operation is dusty.

•SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

•DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
