Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: Read all instructions before operating
product. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Double Insulation
Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate
layers of electrical insulation or one single layer of reinforced insulation
between you and the tool's electrical system. Tools built with this
insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your
tool is equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to use
extension cords without concern for maintaining a ground connection.
NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool. The secondary insulation
system is for protection against injury resulting from a possible failure
of the primary insulation within the tool.
CAUTION: WHEN
REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repair or replace damaged cords.
Polarized Plugs
Polarized plugs (one blade is wider than the other) are used on
equipment to reduce the risk of electric shock. When provided, this
plug will fit in the 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 the proper outlet. Do not change the plug
in any way.
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit
of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from tool before turning it on.
WALT
E
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite
injuries.
• DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use
power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain.
Keep work area well lighted.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a safe
distance from work area.
• MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master
switches, or by removing starter keys.
• DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do a job for
which it was not designed.
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. An extension cord must
have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for
safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the
capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than
18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
