pressurized prior to cutting. This reduces the risk of
electrical shock and other serious injury.
• Before using, test the Ground Fault Circuit Inter-
rupter (GFCI) provided with the power cord to in-
sure it is operating properly. GFCI reduces the risk

or modify. Other uses or modifying this tool for other
purposes may increase the risk of serious injury.
