chine. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area
from debris fumes and oil. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Grounded machines must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and 1.
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 qualied 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.
Double insulated machines are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is 2.
wider than the other). This plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
t, contact a qualied 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.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, 3.
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
Do not expose powered machines to rain or wet conditions. 4. Water entering a
powered machine will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the machines 5.
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.
When operating a powered machine outside, use an outdoor extension cord 6.
marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operat-1.
ing a powered machine. Do not use a powered machine while tired or under
the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating powered machines may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep 2.
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts in engine compartment.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts in the machine.
