POWER TOOL SAFETY
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Double insulated tools are
equipped with a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a
polarized plug 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.
Avoid body contact with
grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is increased
risk of electric shock if your body
is grounded.
Don't expose power tools to
rain or wet conditions. Water
entering the 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 shoel
When operating a power tool
outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked "W-A"
or "W". These cords are rated
for outdoor use and reduce the
risk of electric shock.
