Safety Instructions For All Tools

•KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

•CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don’t expose power tools to rain. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.

•GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.

•KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from work area.

•STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, and high or locked-up place — out of reach of children.

•DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

•USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Don’t use tool for purpose not intended.

•DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided.

•USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if operation is dusty.

•DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

•SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

•DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

•MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for

better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

•DISCONNECT OR LOCK OFF TOOLS when not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters.

•REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

•AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don’t carry tool with finger on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.

•EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage

number, the heavier the cord.

			Minimum Gage for Cord Sets
	Volts			Total Length of Cord in Feet
	120V			0-25	26-50	51-100	101-150
	240V			0-50	51-100	101-200	201-300
	Ampere Rating				AWG
	More		Not more		AWG
	Than		Than
0		-	6	18	16	16	14
6		-	10	18	16	14	12
10		-	12	16	16	14	12
12		-	16	14	12	Not Recommended

•OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.

•STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.
