READ INSTRUCTIONS
• Thoroughly read and understand these product instructions before using the Parts Washer.

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• DO NOT use solvent based or flammable cleaning agents in this parts washer. The recirculating pump is designed to operate with
water-based cleaning agents only. Solvents will destroy the pump and could present a fire hazard.
• NEVER let parts washer run while unattended. Clogging of the filter and resulting overheating of the pump motor can occur.
EXPOSURE TO CLEANING FLUIDS CAN BE A HEALTH HAZARD!
• Contents can splash into eyes. Wear ANSI Z87 approved eye protection while using Parts Cleaner.
• Be sure to follow all precautions listed on fluid containers before using.
• Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves while handling fluids.

• To avoid possible personal injury and property damage, DO NOT allow the Fluid Outlet Tube and Cleaning Fluid to spray outside the
walls of the Parts Cleaner.
• DO NOT attempt to move the Parts Washer while full. Always drain the Parts Washer before moving.
PINCH HAZARD!
• Always keep hands and fingers away from spring loaded Parts Washer Lid and Support Mechanism when closing.
SHOCK HAZARD!
• Always plug into an approved, grounded and GFI equipped 120 Volt AC, 60hz. Outlet.

1) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) 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 earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
2) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) 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.
b) Use safety 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.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) 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.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices
can reduce dust-related hazards.
3) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. 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.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,
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.

Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
