always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.
Work Area
Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite
injuries.
Consider work area environment. Don't use
power tools or equipment in damp, wet, or poorly
lit locations. Don't expose to rain. Keep the
work area well lit. Don't use in the presence of
flammable gases or liquids.
Keep children and bystanders away. All
children should be kept away from the work
area. Don't let them handle machines, tools or
extension cords. Visitors can be a distraction and
are difficult to protect from injury.
Electrical Safety
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet
that itself is properly installed and grounded.
Grounding provides a low-resistance path to
carry electricity to the ground and away from the
operator, should the tool malfunction electrically.
Do not remove the grounding prong from the
plug or alter the plug in any way. If in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded according
to code, check with a qualified electrician.
Observe proper precautions regarding double
insulation. This tool is double insulated. It is
equipped with a polarized plug. One blade is
wider than the other, so it will fit into a polarized

outlet only one way. If you have difficulty
inserting the plug, try reversing it. If it still
doesn't fit, do not alter the plug; have a qualified
electrician install a polarized outlet.
Guard against electric shock. Prevent body
contact with grounded surfaces: pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerator enclosures. When your
body is grounded the risk of electric shock
increases. When working wherever "live"
electrical wires may be encountered, try to
ascertain whether there is a danger of shock.
Even so, DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS
OF THE TOOL while using it. Hold the tool only
by the plastic grip to prevent electric shock if you
contact a live wire.
Do not abuse the cord. Never carry your
power equipment by the cord or pull on the cord
to unplug it. Protect the cord from potential
sources of damage: heat, oil & solvents, sharp
edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately.
When working outdoors, use an outdoor-rated
extension cord. An extension cord rated for
outdoor use must be marked "W-A" or "W".
Do not expose electrical power equipment to
moisture. Rain or wet conditions can cause water
to enter the unit and lead to electric shock.
