shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
WORK AREA
1. 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 create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you t o loose control.

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 t o 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 an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
Don't expose power tools t o rain or w e t conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electrical shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord t o 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 shock.
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.
