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 SERVICING
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.
• 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
