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.

GENERAL SAFETY 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 ordi-
nances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug
in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a quali-
fied electician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is prop-
erly 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 polar-
ized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the out-
let, 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
wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
Applicable only to Class II (double insulated) tools.
• 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.
• 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 exten-
sion cord marked "W-A" or "W." These cords are rated for out-
door use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• 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 inat-
tention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
