2 General Safety Rules

1 WARNING! Read and understand all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

2 Work Area

2.1Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

2.2Do 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.

2.3Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

3 Electrical Safety

3.1Grounded tools 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 tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low-resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

Applicable only to Class I (grounded) tools.

3.2Double 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.

Applicable only to Class II (double insulated) tools.

3.3Avoid 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.
