ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING! To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected to a properly grounded receptacle.
1. Disconnect tool from power source before cleaning, servicing, changing parts/ accessories or
when not in use.
2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical equipment. Avoid body contact with
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cooking stoves and refrigerators. There is an increased chance
of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3. Do not disconnect the power cord in place of using the ON/OFF switch on the tool. This will prevent an
accidental startup when the power cord is plugged into the power supply.
4. Do not alter any parts of the tool or accessories. All parts and accessories are designed with built-in safety
features that may be compromised if altered.
5. Make certain that power source conforms to requirements of your equipment.
6. When wiring an electrically driven device, follow all electrical and safety codes, as well as the most recent
Canadian Electrical Code (CE) and Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS).
7. This device is only for use on 120 V (single phase) and is equipped with a 3-prong grounded power supply
cord and plug.
8. DO NOT use this device with a 2-prong wall receptacle.
a. Choose an available 3-prong power outlet.
b. Replace 2 prong outlet with a grounded 3-prong receptacle, installed in accordance with the CE Code and
local codes and ordinances.
CAUTION! All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.

POLARIZED PLUG

Double insulated tools eliminate the need for a three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
Instead the tool is equipped with a polarized plug that requires a polarized outlet/power supply.
1. A polarized plug has two blades of different widths, allowing only one way to insert the plug into the outlet.
2. Reverse the plug if it does not fully fit into the outlet.
3. If the outlet does not accept a polarized plug, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet.
4. Do not alter the plug as that can compromise the built-in safety feature.
