27. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other.) This plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to install
a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the
need for a three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
28. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and ground-
ed 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 qualied electri-
cian if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tool should
electronically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to
carry electricity away from the user.
29. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry tools or pull the plug from an
outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Do not operate
this tool if the power cord is frayed or damaged. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. Do not modify the plug in any way.
30. 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. Use
in conjunction with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). If operating a power tool in
a damp location is unavoidable, the use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock. It is
recommended that the GFCI should have a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
31. Avoid using an unnecessarily long extension cord. Choose a cord that is appropri-
ate for the situation, as a cord that is too long and running across the oor can be more
dangerous than helpful. Using a cord that is too long or too thin could damage the tool.
Unroll the cord completely to prevent it from overheating.
32. Place the electrical cord in a position that prevents it from coming into contact with
the tool and from getting caught by the work piece. The cord should always stay behind
the tool.
Battery Charger Safety Warnings
1. A battery operated tool with internal batteries or a separate battery pack must only
be powered by the included battery. Do not, for instance, mix dierent brands of tools
and batteries or use adapters to allow you to use a battery pack with a dierent voltage.
Using another battery pack could cause a re.
2. Batteries must only be recharged with the included charger. A charger that may be
suitable for one type of battery could cause a re when used with another battery.
3. Set the tool’s trigger switch to the OFF position before installing or removing the bat-
tery pack. This will prevent injury due to accidental starts.
4. Do not use the battery charger in damp or wet locations.
5. Do not store battery packs in containers / spaces with loose metal objects. Battery
pack terminals could be short circuited if they come into contact with metal objects. In
addition to damaging the battery pack, you increase the risk of a re.
NOTE: Before using your tool for the rst time, discharge the battery and then charge the
battery pack completely.
WARNING! Never burn batteries, as they can explode in a re. Do not charge leaking
batteries. Only a qualied service technician should perform maintenance on the bat-
tery pack. Contact local solid waste authorities for instructions on correct disposal or
recycling of the battery pack.
