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 electrical shock.

5. 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 electrical shock.

6. Connect the tool to an AC power supply that

matches the name plate specification. Incorrect

voltage supply can cause electrical shock or burns.

7. Use only three-wire extension cords which

have three-prong grounding plugs and three-

pole receptacles which accept the machines

plug. Use of other extension cords will not ground

the tool and increase the risk of electrical shock.

8. Use proper extension cords. (See chart.) Insuf-

ficient conductor size will cause excessive voltage

drop, loss of power and overheating.

Personal Safety

1. 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 influ-

ence of drugs, alcohol, or medications. A

moment of inattention while operating power tools

may result in serious personal injury.

2. 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 long hair can be caught

in moving parts.

3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is OFF

before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger

on the switch or plugging in tools that have the

switch ON invites accidents.

4. Remove adjusting keys or switches before

turning the tool ON. A wrench or a key that is left

attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in

personal injury.

General Safety Information

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 Safety

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

benches and dark areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-

pheres, such as in the presence of flammable

liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away

while operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control.

4. Do not let visitors contact the tool or extension

cord. Such preventative measures reduce the risk

of injury.

Electrical Safety

1. 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

tools should electrically malfunction or break down,

grounding provides a low resistance path to carry

electricity away from the user.

2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces

such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigera-

tors. There is an increased risk of electrical shock

if your body is grounded.

3. Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet condi-

tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the

risk of electrical shock.

4. Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to carry
