4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool
do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any
abnormal vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
Grounding
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT
GROUNDING
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided
with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the
tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a
service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs
1. Tools marked with "Grounding Required"
have a three wire cord and three prong
grounding plug. The plug must be connected
to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool
should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to
carry electricity away from the user, reducing
the risk of electric shock. (See 3-Prong Plug
and Outlet.)
2. The grounding prong in the plug is
connected through the green wire
cord to the grounding system in the tool. The
green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool's grounding
system and must never be attached to an electrically " live" terminal. (See 3-
Prong Plug and Outlet.)
3.
The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet
should look like those in the preceding illustration. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
