If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If It still

does not tit, contact a qualified electrician to Install a potarlzed outleL

DO NOT change or alter the plug In any way.

2. Double insulation [] eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power

cord and grounded power supply system. Applicable only to Class II

(double insulated) tools.

3. Before plugging in the tool BE SURE that the outlet voltage supplied is

within the voltage marked on the tool's data plate. DO NOT use =AC only"

rated tools with a DC power supply.

4. ALWAYS avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased dsk of electric

shock if your body is grounded.

5. If operating the power tool In damp locations Is unavoidable, ALWAYS

use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter to supply power to your tool.

ALWAYS wear electrician's rubber gloves and footwear In damp

conditions.

6. DO NOT expose power tools to rein or wet condlUons. Water entering a

power tool will increase the dsk of electric shock.

7. DO NOT abuse the cord. NEVER use the cord to carry the tools or pull

the p.lug from the outlet. Keep cord away from heat, o11,sharp edges or

movnng parts. Replace damaged cords Immediately. Damaged cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

8. When operating apower tool outside, ALWAYS use an outdoor extension

cord marked "W-A" or _These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce

the risk of electric shock.

NOTE: The extension cord must have adequate wire size AWG

(American Wire Gauge) for safe, efficient use. Smaller gauge wires have

greater capacity (16 gauge wire has more capacity than 18 gauge wire).

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. ALWAYS stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense

when operatlng s power tool. DO NOT use tool while tired or under the

influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A momentof inattentionwhile
