RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

DOUBLE INSULATION is a concept in safety, in electric

power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three
wire grounded power cord and grounded supply system.

Wherever there is electric current in the tool there are two
complete sets of insulation to protect the user. All exposed

metalpartsare isolatedfrom internal metal motorcomponents

with protecting insulation.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read owner's
manual carefully. Learn its applications and

limitations as well as the specific potential hazards
related to this tool.

2. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK by

preventing body contact with grounded surfaces.
For example: Pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator

enclosures.

3. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and

benches invite accidents.

5. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use
power tool in damp or wet locations or expose to

rain. Keep work area well lit.

6. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All

visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept a
safe distance from work area. Do not let visitors

contact tool or extension cord.

7. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use tools

should be stored in a dry and high or locked-up
place - out of the reach of children.

8. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.

9. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or
attachment to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Don't

use tool for purpose not intended - for example - A

clothing or jewelry that can get caught in tool's

dust mask if operation is dusty.

21. MAKE SURE YOUR EXTENSION CORD IS IN
GOOD CONDITION, When using an extension

cord, be sureto use one heavy enough tocarry the

willcause a drop inline voltage resulting in loss of

power and overheating. A wire gage size (A.W.G.)

of at least 16 is recommended for an extension

cord 100 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding
100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the

next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord.
