GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other

reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce

your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety

equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to ﬁlter out microscopic particles.

WARNING: Read and understand all warnings, cautions and operating instructions before

using this equipment. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric

shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

WORK AREA SAFETY

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite

accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

ﬂammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the

dust or fumes.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use

any 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.

2. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

3. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is

grounded.

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

cords increase the risk of electric shock.

5. When operating a power tool outside, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

6. Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to

work. The electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and rate a hazard

to the operator.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. 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.

2. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as

dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection for appropriate

conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3. 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. Air vents may cover moving parts and should be avoided.

4. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.

Carrying power tool with your ﬁnger on the switch or plugging in power tools that

have the switch on invites accidents.

5. Remove any adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A wrench

or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

6. Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of balance

can cause an injury in an unexpected situation.

7. If devices are provided for connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,

ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust

related hazards.

8. Do not use a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables

better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

9. Keep tool handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles cannot

safely control the tool.

TOOL USE AND CARE

1. Secure the work piece. Use clamp or other practical way to hold the workpiece to a

stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body is unstable and

may lead to loss of control.

2. Do not force the power tool. The tool will perform the job better and safer at the feed

rate for which it is designed. Forcing the tool could possibly damage the tool and may

result in personal injury.

3. Use the correct power tool for the job. Don’t force the tool or attachment to do a job

for which it is not designed.

4. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with

the switch is dangerous and must be repaired or replaced by an authorized service center.

5. Turn power tool off, and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or battery

pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing the accessories,

or storing the tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of an accidental

start up which may cause personal injury.

6. Store idle tool out of reach of children and other inexperienced persons. It is

dangerous in the hand of untrained users.

7. Maintain power tools with care. Check for proper alignment and binding of moving

parts, component breaks, and any other conditions that may affect the tool’s

operation. A guard or any other part that is damaged must be properly repaired or

replaced by an authorized service center to avoid risk of personal injury.

8. Use recommended accessories. Using accessories and attachments not

recommended by the manufacturer or intended for use on this type tool may cause

damage to the tool or result in personal injury to the user. Consult the operator’s

manual for recommended accessories.

9. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

10. Feed the workpiece in the correct direction and speed. Feed the workpiece into a

blade, cutter, or abrasive surface against the direction of the cutting tool’s direction of

rotation only. Incorrectly feeding the workpiece in the same direction may cause the

workpiece to be thrown out at high speed.

11. Never leave the tool running unattended, turn the power off. Do not leave the tool until

it comes to a complete stop.

12. Never start the power tool when any rotating component is in contact with the work

piece.

PARTICLES, INCLUDING WOOD DUST, CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST AND ASBESTOS. Direct

particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in a well-ventilated area and

provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure

to the dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis

(a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged

contact with the dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may

promote absorption of harmful material. Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved

respiratory protection appropriate for dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap

and water.

SERVICE

1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualiﬁed repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

EXTENSION CORDS

Grounded 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 power 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. Refer to

the table shown below to determine the required minimum wire size.

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. When using more than one

extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum

wire size required. 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 wire size.

Guidelines for Using Extension Cords

1. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the sufﬁx “W-A”

(“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.

2. Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always

replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualiﬁed person before

using it.

3. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet

areas.

comply with ANSI s3.19 standards.

6. Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Following this

rule will reduce the risk of personal injury.

SAFETY RULES FOR PAINT REMOVAL

WARNING: Extreme care should be taken when removing paint. The peelings, residue, and

vapors of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Exposure to even low levels of lead

can cause irreversible brain and nervous system damage. Young and unborn children are

particularly vulnerable.

Before beginning any paint removal process you should determine whether the paint you are

removing contains lead. This can be done by your local health department or by a professional

who uses a paint analyzer to check for lead.

WARNING: Lead-based paint should only be removed by a professional.

Persons removing paint should follow these guidelines

1. Keep the work area well ventilated. Open the windows and put an exhaust fan in one

of them. Be sure the fan is moving air from inside to outside.

2. Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking utensils, and air

ducts.

3. Place drop cloths in the work area to catch any paint chips or peelings. Wear

protective clothing such as extra work shirts, overalls and hats.

4. Work in one room at a time. Furnishings should be removed or placed in the center of

the room and covered. Work areas should be sealed off from the rest of the dwelling

by sealing doorways with drop cloths.

5. Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women and nursing mothers should not be

present in the work area until the work is done and all cleanup is complete.

6. Keep food and drink out of the work area. Wash hands, arms, and face and rinse
