General Power Tool Safety

Warnings

WARNING Read all safety

warnings and instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric

shock, re and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and

instructions for future reference.

The term ″power tool″ in the

warnings refers to your mains-

operated (corded) power tool or

battery-operated (cordless) power

tool.

Work area safety1.

Keep work area clean and well lit. a.

Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-

dents.

Do not operate power tools in b.

explosive atmospheres, such as in

the presence of ammable liquids,

gases or dust. Power tools create

sparks which may ignite the dust or

fumes.

Keep children and bystanders c.

away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

Electrical safety2.

Power tool plugs must match the a.

outlet. Never modify the plug in

any way. Do not use any adapter

SKU 65057 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 3

plugs with grounded power tools.

Unmodied plugs and matching out-

lets will reduce risk of electric shock.

Avoid body contact with grounded b.

surfaces such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators. There is

an increased risk of electric shock if

your body is grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain c.

or wet conditions. Water entering

a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use d.

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.

When operating a power tool out-e.

doors, use an extension cord suit-

able for outdoor use. Use of a cord

suitable for outdoor use reduces the

risk of electric shock.

If operating a power tool in a damp f.

location is unavoidable, use a

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

(GFCI) protected supply. Use of

a GFCI reduces the risk of electric

shock.

Personal safety3.

Stay alert, watch what you are do-a.

ing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use

a power tool while you are tired

or under the inuence of drugs,

alcohol or medication. A moment

of inattention while operating power

tools may result in serious personal

injury.

Use personal protective equip-b.

ment. Always wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or

hearing protection used for appropri-

ate conditions will reduce personal

injuries.

Remove any adjusting key or c.

wrench before turning the power

tool on. A wrench or a key left at-

tached to a rotating part of the power

tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper d.

footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

Only use safety equipment that e.

has been approved by an appropri-

ate standards agency. Unapproved

safety equipment may not provide

adequate protection. Eye protection

must be ANSI-approved and breath-

ing protection must be NIOSH-ap-

proved for the specic hazards in the

work area.

Power tool use and care4.

Do not force the power tool. Use a.

the correct power tool for your ap-

plication. The correct power tool will

do the job better and safer at the rate

for which it was designed.

Do not use the power tool it does b.

not turn on and off. Any power tool

that cannot be controlled dangerous

and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the c.

power source before making any

adjustments, changing accesso-

ries, or storing power tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce

the risk of starting the power tool ac-

cidentally.

Store idle power tools out of the d.

reach of children and do not allow

SKU 65057 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 4

persons unfamiliar with the power

tool or these instructions to oper-

ate the power tool. Power tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained

users.

Maintain power tools. Check for e.

breakage of parts and any other

condition that may affect the

power tool’s operation. If dam-

aged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained power

tools.

Keep cutting tools sharp and f.

clean. Properly maintained cutting

tools with sharp cutting edges are

less likely to bind and are easier to

control.

Use the power tool, accessories g.

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 differ-

ent from those intended could result

in a hazardous situation.

Service6.

Have your power tool serviced by a.

a qualied repair person using

only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the

power tool is maintained.

Decal Remover Safety Warnings

GROUNDING

TO PREVENT

ELECTRIC SHOCK

AND DEATH FROM

INCORRECT GROUNDING

WIRE CONNECTION:

Check with a qualied

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

t the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualied

electrician.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three

Prong Plugs

Tools marked with “Grounding Re-1.

quired” 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. (See 3-Prong Plug

and Outlet.)

The grounding prong in the plug is 2.

connected through the green wire in-

side 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. (See 3-Prong Plug

and Outlet.)

The tool must be plugged into an 3.

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.)

SKU 65057 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 6

Double Insulated Tools: Tools

with Two Prong Plugs

Tools marked “Double Insulated” do 1.

not require grounding. They have

a special double insulation system

which satises OSHA requirements

and complies with the applicable

standards of Underwriters Labora-

tories, Inc., the Canadian Standard

Association, and the National Electri-

cal Code. (See Outlets for 2-Prong

Plug.)

Double insulated tools may be used 2.

in either of the 120 volt outlets shown

in the preceding illustration. (See

Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)

Extension Cords

Grounded1. tools require a three wire

extension cord. Double Insulated

tools can use either a two or three

wire extension cord.

As the distance from the supply outlet 2.

increases, you must use a heavier

gauge extension cord. Using exten-

sion cords with inadequately sized

wire causes a serious drop in voltage,

resulting in loss of power and pos-

sible tool damage.

(See Table A.)

The smaller the gauge number of the 3.

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.)

When using more than one exten-4.

sion cord to make up the total length,

make sure each cord contains at

least the minimum wire size required.

(See Table A.)

If you are using one extension cord 5.

for more than one tool, add the

nameplate amperes and use the sum

to determine the required minimum

cord size. (See Table A.)

If you are using an extension cord 6.

outdoors, make sure it is marked with

the sufx “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to

indicate it is acceptable for outdoor

use.

Make sure the extension cord is prop-7.

erly wired and in good electrical con-

dition. Always replace a damaged

extension cord or have it repaired by

a qualied electrician before using it.

Protect the extension cords from 8.

sharp objects, excessive heat, and

damp or wet areas.
