2.Electrical safety

a.Power tool Plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the Plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools.

Unmodified plugs and 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 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 outdoors, use an extension cord 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 doing 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 equipment. Always wear ANSI- approved safety goggles. Safety equipment such as NIOSH-approved dust mask/respirator, NIOSH- approved hearing protection, and heavy duty work gloves will reduce personal injuries.

c. Prevent unintentional starting.

Ensure the Power Switch is in the off-position before connecting to the power source or picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch invites accidents.

d.Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to an oscillating 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.

4.Power tool use and care

a.Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b.Do not use the power tool if the

Power Switch does not turn it on
