ELECTRICAL SAFETY

grounded tools must be plugged
1.
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 adapter 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.
2. Double insulated tools are
equipped with a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will fit in a polarized out-
let only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, con-
tact a qualified electrician to install
a polarized outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way. Double insula-
tion eliminates the need for the
three wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system.
3. 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.
4. Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
5. Do not abuse the Power Cord.
Never use the Power Cord to carry
the tools or pull the Plug from an
outlet. Keep the Power Cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges, or

moving parts. Replace damaged
Power Cords immediately. Dam-
aged Power Cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
6. When operating a power tool out-
side, use an outdoor extension
cord marked "W-A" or "W". These
extension cords are rated for outdoor
use, and reduce the risk of electric
shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert. Watch what you are do-
1.
ing, and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
3. Avoid accidental starting.
the Power Switch is off before
plugging in. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the Power Switch,
or plugging in power tools with the
Power Switch on, invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or wrench-
es before turning the power tool
on. A wrench or a key that is left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
