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.
DANGER:
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury.
CAUTION:
Used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.
The label on your tool may include the following symbols.
V ..........................volts
Hz ........................hertz
min ........................minutes
......................direct current

MOTOR
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only means
your tool will operate on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not operate AC tools on
DC. A rating of 120 volts AC/DC means that you tool will operate on standard 60 Hz AC
or DC power. This information is printed on the nameplate. Lower voltage will cause
loss of power and can result in over-heating. All Black & Decker tools are factory-tested;
if this tool does not operate, check the power supply.

Extension Cords

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.
