IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! When using electric tools, machines or equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of re, electric
shock, and personal injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TOOL
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp,
wet, or poorly lit locations. Don’t expose your tool to rain. Keep the work area
well lit. Don’t use tools in the presence of ammable gases or liquids.
3. KEEP CHILDREN AND BYSTANDERS AWAY. All children should be kept
away from the work area. Don’t let them handle machines, tools or extension
cords. Visitors can be a distraction and are difcult to protect from injury.
4. GROUNDED TOOLS must be plugged into an outlet that itself is properly
installed and grounded. Grounding provides a low-resistance path to carry
electricity to ground away from the operator, should the tool malfunction elec-
trically. Do not remove the grounding prong from the plug or alter the plug in
any way. If in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded according
to code, check with a qualied electrician.
5. OBSERVE PROPER PRECAUTIONS REGARDING DOUBLE INSULA-
TION. This tool is double insulated. It is equipped with a polarized plug. One
blade is wider than the other, so it will t into a polarized outlet only one way.
If you have difculty inserting the plug, try reversing it. If it still doesn’t t, do
not alter the plug; have a qualied electrician install a polarized outlet.
6. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures. When your
body is grounded the risk of electric shock increases. When working
wherever “live” electrical wires may be encountered, try to ascertain whether
there is a danger of shock. Even so, DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS
OF THE TOOL while using it. Hold the tool only by the plastic grip to prevent
electric shock if you contact a live wire.
7. DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD. Never carry your tool by the power cord or
pull on the cord to unplug it. Protect the cord from potential sources of dam-
age: heat, oil & solvents, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately.
8. WHEN WORKING OUTDOORS, USE AN OUTDOOR-RATED EXTENSION
CORD. An extension cord rated for outdoor use must be marked “W-A” or
“W”.
9. DO NOT EXPOSE ELECTRICAL POWER TOOLS TO MOISTURE. Rain or
wet conditions can cause water to enter the tool and lead to electric shock.
10. ENSURE THE EXTENSION CORD YOU USE IS OF SUFFICIENT GAUGE
FOR ITS LENGTH.

11. STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT. Store equipment in a dry area to inhibit rust.
Equipment also should be in a high location or locked up to keep out of reach
of children.
12. DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and more safely at the
rate for which it was intended.
