WARNING! Read and understand
all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious per-
sonal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
✔ Keep your work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered benches and 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 bystanders, children, and visi-
tors away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Electrical Safety
✔ Grounded tools must be plugged
into an outlet properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all
codes and ordinances. Never
remove the grounding prong or
modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adaptor plugs. Check with
a qualified 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. Applicable only to
Class I (Grounded) tools.
✔ 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. Applicable only
to Class ll tools.
✔ 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.
✔ Don’t expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
✔ Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord to carry the tools or pull
the plug from an outlet. 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 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
✔ Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or med-
ication. 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
