WARNING
safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
and personal injury. Completely read the manual before proceeding to use this tool.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TOOL
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp, wet, or
poorly lit locations. Don't expose your tool to rain. Keep the work area well lit. Don't
use tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
3. KEEP CHILDREN AND BYSTANDERS AWAY. All children should be kept away from
the work area. Don't let them handle machines, tools or extensions cords. Visitors can
be a distraction and are difficult to protect from injury.
4. GROUNDED TOOLS must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded. Grounding provides a low-resistance path to carry electricity to ground
away from the operator, should th e tool malfunction electrically.
Do not remove the grounding prong from the plug nor 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.
5. PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCKS. 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.
6. HANDLE THE CORD CAREFULLY. Never carry your tool 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.
7. WHEN WORKING OUTDOORS, USE AN OUTDOOR-RATED EXTENSION CORD.
An extension cord rated for outdoor use must be marked "W-A" or "W".
8. DO NOT EXPOSE ELECTRICAL POWER TOOLS TO MOISTURE. Rain or wet
conditions can cause water to enter the tool and lead to electric shock.
9. ENSURE THE EXTENSION CORD YOU USE IS OF SUFFICIENT GAUGE FOR ITS
LENGTH.
