WARNING
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (FIG 1)
This unit is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), which guards against the
hazards of ground fault currents. An example of ground fault current is the current that would
flow through a person who is using an appliance with faulty insulation and, at the same time, is
in contact with an electrical ground such as a plumbing fixture, wet floor, or earth.
GFCI plugs do not protect against short circuits, overloads, or shocks.
NOTE: The GFCI plug provided will “open” each time that it is disconnected from the AC wall
receptacle. To ensure readiness for use, press the reset button each time you connect the tool
to the power supply.
The GFCI plug can be tested with the TEST and RESET buttons.
To test:
• Depress the TEST button. This should cause the RESET button to pop out.
• To restore power, depress the RESET button
Perform this test monthly to ensure proper operation of the GFCI.

• Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so that it will not get
caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool.
Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.
• Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use tool
with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock
resulting in serious injury.
