a. Use in conjunction with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). If
operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, the use of a
GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock. It is recommended that the
GFCI should have a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
2. Do not operate this tool if the power cord is frayed or damaged as an electric
shock or surge may occur, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
a. Inspect the tool's power cord for cracks, fraying or other faults in the
insulation or plug before each use.
b. Discontinue use if a power cord feels more than comfortably warm
while operating the tool.
c. Have the power cord replaced by a qualified service technician.
3. Keep all connections dry and off the ground to reduce the risk of electric
shock. Do not touch plug with wet hands.
4. Prevent damage to the power cord by observing the following:
a. Do not pull on the cord to disconnect the plug from an outlet.
b. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
5. Do not allow people, mobile equipment or vehicles to pass over
unprotected power cords.
a. Position power cords away from traffic areas.
b. Place cords in reinforced conduits.
c. Place planks on either side of the power cord to create a protective trench.
6. Do not wrap cord around the tool as sharp edges may cut insulation or
cause cracks if wound too tight. Gently coil cord and either hang on a hook
or fasten with a device to keep cord together during storage.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING! Do not touch or handle a live tool with any part of your body that
is wet or damp. Wet skin reduces resistance to electrical current,
increasing the danger of a serious or fatal shock.
WARNING! To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that the plug is
connected to a properly grounded receptacle.
1. Disconnect tool from power source before cleaning, servicing, changing
parts/accessories or when not in use.
