SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP

Electrical safety

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way.

Do not use any adapter plugs

with grounded power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets

will reduce risk of electric shock.

2. 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.

3. Do not expose power tools to rain or

wet conditions. Water entering a power

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the

cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging

the power tool. Keep cord away from

heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase

the risk of electric shock.

5. When operating a power tool

outdoors, use an extension

cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use

reduces the risk of electric shock.

6. If operating a power tool in a damp

location is unavoidable, use a

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI

reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

1. Stay alert, watch what you are

doing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use

a power 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.

2. Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or

hearing protection used for appropriate

conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3. Prevent unintentional starting.

Ensure the Trigger is in the off-position

before connecting to power source,

picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on

the Trigger or energizing power tools that

have the Trigger on invites accidents.

4. Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

5. Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewelry. Keep your

hair, clothing and gloves away

from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry

or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

6. Only use safety equipment that has

been approved by an appropriate

standards agency. Unapproved safety

equipment may not provide adequate

protection. Eye protection must be

ANSI-approved and breathing protection

must be NIOSH-approved for the

specific hazards in the work area.

Use the correct power tool for your

application. The correct power tool

will do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was designed.

2. Do not use the power tool if the

Trigger does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be

controlled with the Trigger is

dangerous and must be repaired.

3. Disconnect the plug from the power

source before making any adjustments,

changing accessories, or storing

power tools. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of starting

the power tool accidentally.

4. Store idle power tools out of the reach

of children and do not allow persons

unfamiliar with the power tool or these

instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

5. Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any other

condition that may affect the power tool’s

operation. If damaged, have the power

tool repaired before use. Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

6. Use the power tool, accessories and

tool bits etc. in accordance with these

instructions, taking into account the

working conditions and the work to

be performed. Use of the power tool for

operations different from those intended

could result in a hazardous situation.

SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP

Grounding

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM

INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION:

Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is

properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool.

Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or

plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will

not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs

3-Prong Plug and Outlet

1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required”

have a three wire cord and three prong

grounding plug. The plug must be connected

to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool

should electrically malfunction or break

down, grounding provides a low resistance

path to carry electricity away from the

user, reducing the risk of electric shock.

2. The grounding prong in the plug is

connected through the green wire inside

the cord to the grounding system in

the tool. The green wire in the cord must

be the only wire connected to the tool’s

grounding system and must never be

attached to an electrically “live” terminal.

3. The tool must be plugged into an appropriate

outlet, properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all codes and ordinances.

The plug and outlet should look like those in

the preceding illustration.

(See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP

Extension Cords

1. Grounded tools require a

three wire extension cord.

Double Insulated tools can use either

a two or three wire extension cord.

2. As the distance from the supply outlet

increases, you must use a heavier gauge

extension cord. Using extension cords with

inadequately sized wire causes a serious

drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power

and possible tool damage. (See Table A.)

3. The smaller the gauge number of

the wire, the greater the capacity of

the cord. For example, a 14 gauge

cord can carry a higher current than

a 16 gauge cord. (See Table A.)

4. When using more than one extension cord

to make up the total length, make sure

each cord contains at least the minimum

wire size required. (See Table A.)

5. If you are using one extension cord for more

than one tool, add the nameplate amperes

and use the sum to determine the required

minimum cord size. (See Table A.)

6. If you are using an extension cord

outdoors, make sure it is marked with the

suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate

it is acceptable for outdoor use.

7. Make sure the extension cord is properly

wired and in good electrical condition.

Always replace a damaged extension

cord or have it repaired by a qualified

electrician before using it.

8. Protect the extension cords from

sharp objects, excessive heat,

and damp or wet areas.
