WARNING:
Read and understand all in struc -
tions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious per son al injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Clut tered
bench es and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive at mo -
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools may create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Electrical Safety
Double insulated tools are equipped with a po lar -
ized 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 po lar ized outlet. Do not change the plug

as pipes, radiators, ranges, and re frig er a tors. There

grounded.
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet con di tions.

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 im me di ate ly. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an out-
door extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk
of electric shock.
