General Safety Rules

WARNING! Read all instructions

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to the Plastic Parts Washer.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1.Work area safety

a.Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b.Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the pres- ence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c.Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Dis- tractions can cause you to lose control.

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

d.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 elec- tric 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 influ- ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b.Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection and a full face shield. Safety equipment such as ventilator mask, non-skid safety shoes, solvent resistant gloves, or hearing protection used for appropri- ate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c.Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plug- ging in. Plugging in power tools that have the switch on, invites accidents.
