Chicago Electric 97750 operating instructions Gfci reduces the risk of electric shock

Unmodified plugs and matching out- lets 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 (34).

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 in- crease the risk of electric shock.

e.When operating a power tool out- doors, use an extension cord suit- able 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 safety equipment. Always wear ANSI-approved safety impact goggles and NIOSH-approved dust

mask/respirator. Safety equipment such as 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 (33) is in the off-position before connecting to the power source, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch or energizing power tools that have the Power Switch on invites ac- cidents.

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.

4.Power tool use and care

a.Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your ap- plication. 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 (33) does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
