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.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool

will increase the risk of electric shock.

Grounded tools must be plugged 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.

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 to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any

way. Double insulation

cord and grounded power supply system.

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. Damaged

Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outside, 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.

10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, 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 inattention while operating power tools may

result in serious personal injury.

11. 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.

12. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure 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.

13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing

and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety

shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
