SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS

It is important for you to read and understand this manual. The information it contains
relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING PROBLEMS. The symbols
below are used to help you recognize this information.
:
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will

result in minor or moderate injury.
:
Used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.
SYMBOLS
• The label on your tool may include the following symbols. The symbols and their
definitions are as follows:
V..................volts
Hz................hertz
min ..............minutes
............direct current
................Class I Construction
(grounded)
................Class II Construction
(double insulated)
The label on your laser may include the following symbols.
V ................................volts
nm..............................wavelength in
IIIa..............................Class IIlA Laser
• When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
