ØSecure your work with clamps or vise instead of using your hands to hold work, when practical.
(This safety precaution allows for the proper tool operation using both hands.)
ØStore idle tools. When tools are not is use, store them in a dry, secure place out of the reach of
children. Inspect your tools to ensure that they are in good working condition prior to storage and
before re-use.
ØUse only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
ØKeep guards in place and in proper working order.
ØUse only on a flat, level surface.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING: Always check to ensure the power supply corresponds to the voltage on
the rating plate.
ØDo not abuse the cord. Never carry a portable tool by its power cord or yank the tool or
extension cord from the receptacle. Keep power cords and extension cords away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may cause a
fire and increase the risk of electric shock.
ØGrounded tools must be plugged in to an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way.
Do not use adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded.
ØDouble insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will only fit in a polarized outlet one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still doesn’t fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do
not modify or alter the plug in any way.
ØAvoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
ØWhen operating a parts washer outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A”or “W.”
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
ØExtension Cord & Usage:
Recommended extension cord wire gauge for Parts Washer: 14G (Medium Duty w/ 3-Prong Plug)
A. Replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
B. Check the nameplate rating of your tool. Using an improper size or gauge of extension cord
may cause unsafe or inefficient operation of your tool. Be sure the extension cord is rated to allow
enough current flow to the motor.
Always be sure to check the voltage & amperage requirements of the tool along with the incoming
power source.
ØDo not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
ØDo not let your fingers touch the terminals of the plug when inserting or removing it from the
outlet.
ØGround fault circuit interrupters. If the work area is not equipped with a permanently installed
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlet (GFCI), use a plug-in GFCI between the power tool or
extension cord and the power receptacle.
