WARNING:
RE SURE to read and understand all instructions. Failure to I
follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or I
serious personal injury.
WORK AREA SAFETY
t. ALWAYS keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark
areas invite accidents.
2. DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools creale sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. ALWAYS keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. 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 atry way.
2. Double insulation []eliminates the need for the three-wire grounded power cord
and grounded power supply system, Applicable only to Class II (double insulated)
tools.
3. Before plugging in the tool, BE SURE that the outlet voltage supplied is within the
voltage marked on the tool's data plate. DO NOT use "AC only" rated tools with a
DO power supply.
4. ALWAYS avoid body contact with grounded surtaees, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is grounded.
5. If operating the power tool in damp locations is unavoidable, ALWAYS use a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter to supply power to your tOOl. ALWAYS wear
electrician's rubber gloves and footwear in damp conditions.
6. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of eleclric shock.
7. DO NOT abuse the cord. NEVER use the cord to carry the tools or pull the
plug from the outlet. 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 outside, ALWAYS use an outdoor extension cord
marked "W-A" or"W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk
of electric shock.
NOTE: The extension cord must have adequate wire size AWG (American Wire
Gauge) for safe, efficient use. Smaller gauge wires, have greater capacity (16 gauge
wire has more capacity than 18 gauge wire).
