injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Wo_ A_a

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

tered benchesand dark areas inviteaccidents.

• Do not operate power tools inexplosive

atmospheres, such as inthe presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Powertools

create sparkswhichmay ignitethe dustor fumes.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away

while operating a power tool. Distractionscan cause youto lose control.

Electrical Safety

• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the

other). This plug will fit Ina polarized outlet

only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact equalified eleutriclan to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug In any

way. Double insulation[] eliminatesthe need for thethree-wiregroundedpowercordand grounded powersupplysystem.

• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges, end refrigera-

tors. There isan increasedriskof electricshockif yourbodyis grounded.

• Don't expose power tools to rain or wet condi-

tions. Waterenteringa power toolwill increase

the riskofelectric 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 immedi- ately. Damaged cords increase the riskof electdc

shock.

• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W."

These cordsare rated foroutdooruseandreduce

the riskof electricshock.

Personal Safety

common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the Influ-

ence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. Amo- ment of inattentionwhile operatingpowertools

before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or atodng the tool. Such preven-

tivesafetymeasuresreducethe riskof startingthe toolaccidentally.

• Store Idle tools out of the reach of children and

other untrained persona. Toolsare dangerousin the hands ofuntrainedusers.

• Maintain tools with care. Keepcuttingtools

sharpandcieen. Propedymaintainedtoolswith sharpcuttingedges are lesslikelytobindand are

easier tocontrol.

• Check for mlcellgnment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, end any other condi- tion that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the toolserviced beforeusing.

Many accidentsare caused bypoorlymaintained

tools.

condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the 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 undersizedcord will

cause adropinlinevoltage resultingin lossof powerand overheating.
