1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an
extendedperiodshouldrstbeexaminedbya
doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to
ensure medical problems are not being caused or
worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who
have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past
hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes,
or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If
you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such
astingling,numbness,andwhiteorbluengers),
seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
thebloodsupplytothehandsandngers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
vibration effects on the user.
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
WIRE CONNECTION:
Check with a qualied 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 t the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
Double Insulated Tools:
Tools with Two Prong Plugs
Outlets for 2-Prong Plug
1. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require
grounding. They have a special double insulation
systemwhichsatisesOSHArequirementsand
complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard
Association, and the National Electrical Code.
2. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120
volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration.
(See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)
Extension Cords
1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension
cord. Double Insulated tools can use either
a two or three wire extension cord.
2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you
must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using
extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a
serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and
possible tool damage. (See Table A on page 7.)
3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the
greater the capacity of the cord. For example,
