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 all tools, USE IDENTICAL
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 into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully into 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.
Safety Instrucitons For all tools
