•

• Do not use your tool where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g. in the presence of

flammable liquids, gasses, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control, so visitors should remain at a safe distance from the work area.

Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits,

•

water pipes and other mechanical hazards in your work
area, particularly those hazards below the work surface hidden from the operator's view that may be
unintentionally contacted and may cause personal harm or property damage.

Be alert of your surroundings.

•

Using power tools in confined work areas may put you dangerously close to

cutting tools and rotating parts.

ELECTRICAL

WARNING!

SAFETY

Always check to ensure the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never carry a portable tool by its power cord, or yank tool or extension cords from
the receptacle. Keep power and extension cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may cause a fire and increase the risk of electric shock.

• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes
and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.

• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized 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 still doesn't
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

There is an

increase risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

• 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 electric shock.

• Extension Cord Use:

A. Use only 'Listed' extension cords. If used outdoors, they must be marked “For Outdoor Use.” Those

cords having 3-prong grounding type plugs and mating receptacles are to be used with grounded tools.

B. Replace damaged or worn cords immediately.

C. Check the name plate rating of your tool. Use of improper size or gauge of extension cord may cause

unsafe or inefficient operation of your tool. Be sure your extension cord is rated to allow sufficient current
flow to the motor. For the proper wire gauge for your tool, see chart.

CHART FOR MINIMUM WIRE SIZE OF EXTENSION CORD:

If in doubt, use larger cord. Be sure to check voltage requirements of the tool to your incoming power source.

• Do not let your fingers touch the terminals of plug when installing to or removing from the outlet.

• Ground fault circuit interrupters. If work area is not equipped with a permanently installed Ground Fault
