SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

A WARNING: BE SURE to read and understand all Instructions. Failure to

follow all Instructions listed below may result In electric shock, fire and/or

serious personal injury.

WORK AREA SAFETY

1. ALWAYS keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark

areas invite accidents.

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,

3. ALWAYS keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. 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 polarized outlet. Do not change

the plug In any way.

2. Double insulation Qeliminates the need for the three-wire grounded power cord

and grounded power supply system. Applicable only to Class II (double insulated)

tools.

3. Before plugging in the tool, BE SURE that the outlet voltage supplied Is within the

voltage martted on the tool's data plate. DO NOT use "AC only" rated tools with a

DC power supply.

4. ALWAYS avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock

If your body Is grounded.

5. If operating the power tool in damp locations is unavoidable, ALWAYS use a

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter to supply power to your tool. ALWAYS wear

electrician's rubber gloves and footwear in damp conditions.

6. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

7. DO NOT abuse the cord. NEVER use the cord to carry the tools or puli the

plug from the outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving

parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk

of electric shock.

8. When operating a power tool outside, ALWAYS use an outdoor extension cord

marked “W-A” or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk

of electric shock.

NOTE: The extension cord must have adequate wire size AWG (American Wire

Gauge) for safe, efficient use. Smaller gauge wires, have greater capacity (16 gauge

wire has more capacity than 18 gauge wire).
