GENERAL SAFETY RULES
1.Work Area
a)Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents which could result in personal injury
b)Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c)Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2.Electrical Safety
a)Double Insulated tools are 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.
b)Prevent 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. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d)Do not abuse the cord. Never carry the tool by the cord or yank the cord to pull the plug from a receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e)When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked
3.Personal Safety
a)Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not operate a 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)Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Wear protective hair covering to 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. Rubber gloves and
c)Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Do not carry tools with your finger on the switch or plug in tools that have the switch turned on
d)Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning it on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
e)Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in any situation.
f)Use safety equipment. Always wear protective glasses. Also use a face or dust mask if cut ting operation is dusty.
