1 WARNING! Read and understand all
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
2 Work Area
2.1 Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
2.2 Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
2.3 Keep bystanders, children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
3 Electrical Safety
3.1 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.
Applicable only to Class I (grounded) tools.
3.2 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
