SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. WORK AREA

a) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dusts. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep by-standers, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) 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. Double
Insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power
supply system. Before plugging in the tool, be certain the outlet voltage supplied is within
the voltage marked on the nameplate. Do not use "AC only" rated tools with a DC power
supply.
b) 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. If
operating the power tool in damp locations is unavoidable, a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
must be used to supply the power to your tool. Electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.

c) Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from
an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-
A"or"W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. Refer
to the "Recommended sizes of Extension Cords" in the Accessory section of this manual.
f) 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 tool should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity
away from the user.

3. PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or
