Electrical Safety
4. 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.
5. Do not expose power machines to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
machine will increase the risk of electric shock.
6. Grounded machines 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
machines should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
7. This double insulated machine is 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.
8. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the machines or
pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or
moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power Cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
9. When operating a power machine outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-
A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
10. Always connect the Line Cord to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected
electrical outlet.
Personal Safety
11. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power machines may
result in serious personal injury.
12. 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.
13. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging in.
Plugging in power tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
14. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power machine on. A wrench
or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power machine may result in
personal injury.
