WARNING: Avoid body contact with electrically grounded surfaces. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
WARNING: If the work area is not equipped with a permanently installed Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter outlet (GFCI), use a plug-in GFCI between the power tool or extension cord and the power
receptacle.
WARNING: If an extension cord is necessary, use only ‘UL Listed’ extension cords. If used outdoors,
they must be marked “For Outdoor Use”. Those cords having a 3-prong grounding type plugs and maƟng
receptacles are to be used with grounded tools.
WARNING: Use of improper size or gauge of extension cord may cause unsafe or ineĸcient
operaƟon of your tool, or cause damage to your tool. Be sure your extension cord is rated to allow
suĸcient current Ňow to the motor. If in doubt, always use a larger gauge cord. Be sure to check the
voltage requirements of the tool to your incoming power source.
NOTE: The table below shows the correct size to use according to cord length and the amperage
draw of the tool (speciĮed on the nameplate). When in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord. (AWG = American Wire Gauge).

WARNING: Do not operate electrically operated tools, including lights, in explosive atmospheres, such
ĂƐŝŶƚŚĞƉƌĞƐĞŶĐĞŽĨŇĂmmable liquids, gases or dust. Electrically operated tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
WARNING: Have your electrically operated tool serviced by a quĂůŝĮed repair person using only idenƟcal
replacement parts. This will ensure that the power tool is safe.
