WORK AREA SAFETY

Keep your work area clean and well lit.
•
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
•
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

•
Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Power tool plugs must match the outlet
•
adaptor plugs in any earthed (grounded) power tools. Double 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.
