A WARNING: Read end understand all Instruc-

tions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or

serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Work Area

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Glut-

tered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools I_n 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 vleltore away

while operating • power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety i Double Insulated tools are equipped with a

poladsed plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit In a polarized outlet

only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If It atlll does not

fit, contact a qualified electrician to Install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug In

any way. Double insulation [] eliminates the

need for the three wire grounded power cord and

grounded power supply system.

• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refdgera-

tore. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

• Don't expose power tools to rain or wet condi- tions. Water entedng a power tool will increase

the dsk of electdc 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, o11,sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords Imme-

dlafely. Damaged cords increase the risk of electdc shock.

• When operating a power tool outside, use an

outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W".

These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electdc 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 Influ-

once of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools

may result in serious personal injury.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,

clothing, and gloves away from moving parts, Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught

in moving parts.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch Is

off before plugging In. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have

the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before

turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result

in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing end balance at ell tlmee. Proper footing and balance

enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye

protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for

appropriate conditions.

S_'itch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source before meldng any edJuatments, changing accessories, or atorlng the tool. Such preven- tive safety measures redUce risk of starting the

tool accidentally.

• Store Idle tools out of reach of children end other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous

in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep cuffing tools sharp and clean. Pmpedy maintained tools, with :

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are

easier to control.

• Check for mlsallgnment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other oondi- tion that may affect the tools operstlon. If

damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained

tools.

• Use only accessodes that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accesso-

des that may be suitable for one tool, may be-

come hazardous when used on another tool.

current your product will draw. 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. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of

power and overheating.
