Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and
personal injury, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Double Insulation

Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate
layers of electrical insulation or one double thickness of 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 insulation system is for
added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical
insulation failure within the tool.
CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repair or replace damaged cords.

Safety Instructions For All Tools

• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite
injuries.
• CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't expose power
tools to rain. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep
work area well lit. Do not use tool in presence of flammable liquids
or gases.
• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact
with grounded surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerator enclosures.
