GENERALSAETYPRECAUTIONS
WORK AREA SAFETY
®
®
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
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 does
not fit, contact a qualified 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
grounded.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull
the plug from an ouUet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
= When operating a power tool 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. The following table shows the correct size to
use, depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating of the tool.

Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
