Electrical Safety

4.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.

5.Do not expose power machines to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power machine will increase the risk of electric shock.

6.Grounded machines must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the machines should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

7.This double insulated machine is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician

to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

8.Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the machines or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

9.When operating a power machine outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W- A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock.

10.Always connect the Line Cord to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected electrical outlet.

Personal Safety

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

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

13.Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging in. Plugging in power tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.

14.Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power machine on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power machine may result in personal injury.
