GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING: Read and understand all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow all indications 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. Clut-
tered benches and dark areas may cause acci-
dents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive at-
mospheres, such as in the presence of flamma-
ble liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may provoke fire.
• Keep away observers, children and visitors
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Double insulation eliminates the need for the
three wire grounded power cord and ground-
ed power supply system.
• Avoid the body contact with grounded sur-
faces such as pipes, radiators and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
• Don't expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. The enter of water into the power
tools will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse of the cable. Never use the ca-
ble to carry the tools and do not pull the plug
off the outlet. Keep the cable away of heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged
cables immediately. Damaged cables increase
the risk of electric shock.

EXTENSION CORDS

Replace damaged cables immediately. Use
of damaged cords can shock, burn or electric
shock. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord
with adequate size conductors should be used
to prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of pow-
er or overheating.
The table shows the correct size to use, de-
pending on cord length and nameplate am-
perage rating of tools. In case of doubt use
the next heavier gauge. Always use UL listed
extension cords.
SIZE RECOMMEND EXTENSION CABLES
• 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.
