●
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.
●
Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
●
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the
plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
●
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked
“W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock. The following table shows the correct size to use, depending
on cord length and nameplate amperage rating of the tool. When in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. Always use UL and CSA listed extension cords.

PERSONAL SAFETY
●
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
●
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. 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.
●
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
●
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench
or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
●
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing
