with a qualied electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is 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, and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is ground-
ed.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools
or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediate-
ly. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord 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-
ing a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the inuence
of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your nger on the Power Switch, or plugging in power
tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in per-
sonal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper foot-
ing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
