General 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
WORK AREA
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and
dark areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• 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 adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified
electician 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.
• 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.
• 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. Applicable only to Class II
(double insulated ) tools.
• Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• 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.
