WORK AREA
•Keep work area clean, free of clutter and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas can cause
accidents.
•Do not use your parts washer where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g.
in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust.
•Keep children and bystanders away while operating a parts washer. Distractions can cause
you to lose control, so visitors should remain at a safe distance from the work area.

•Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes and other mechanical hazards in
your work area, particularly those hazards below the work surface hidden from the operator’s
view that may be unintentionally contacted and may cause personal harm or property damage.
•Be alert of your surroundings. Using parts washers in confined work areas may put you
dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING: Always check to ensure the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the
rating plate.
•Do not abuse the cord. Never yank tool or extension cords from the receptacle. Keep power
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.
•Grounded tools must be plugged into 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 any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded.
•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 doesn’t fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way.
•Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.
There is an increase risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
•Do not let your fingers touch the terminals of plug when installing to or removing from the
outlet.
•Ground fault circuit interrupters. If work area is not equipped with a permanently installed
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlet (GFCI), use a plug-in GFCI between power tool or
extension cord and power receptacle.
