Electrical safety
4a Grounded tools must be plugged
into a socket that has been properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. Never re-
move the grounding prong or modify the
plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs. Check with a qualifi ed electri-
cian if you are in doubt as to whether
the socket 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.
4b Double insulated tools are equipped
with a polarized plug (one blade is wid-
er than the other.) This plug will fi t in
a polarized socket only one way. If the
plug does not fi t fully in the socket, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fi t, contact a quali-
fi ed electrician to install a polarized socket.
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.
5 Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, rang-
es and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is ground-
ed.
6 Don’t expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
7 Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord to carry the tool or to pull the plug
from an socket. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
8 When operating a power tool out-
side, use an outdoor extension cord
marked ”W-A” or ”W”. These cords are
rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
Personal safety
9 Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use while tired or
under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol, or
