Chicago Electric 66182 operating instructions matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b.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.

c.Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d.Do not abuse the Power Cord.

Never use the Cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e.When operating a power tool out- doors, use an Extension Cord (not included) suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f.If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of

a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

3.Personal safety

a.Stay alert, watch what you are do- ing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b.Use personal protective equip- ment. Always wear ANSI-ap- proved safety goggles. Safety

equipment such as NIOSH-approved dust maskrespirator, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c.Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the Power Switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the Switch or energizing power tools that have the Switch on invites accidents.

d.Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left at- tached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g.Only use safety equipment that has been approved by an appropri- ate standards agency. Unapproved safety equipment may not provide adequate protection. Eye protection must be ANSI-approved and breath- ing protection must be NIOSH-ap- proved for the specific hazards in the work area.
