and must be repaired or replaced.
 Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the power equipment. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the equipment
accidentally.
 Store idle equipment out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Power equipment is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
 Maintain power equipment with care. Properly maintained equipment isless
likely tofail and is easier to control. Do not use damaged power equipment.
Tagdamaged power equipment “Do not use” until repaired.
 Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the power equipment’s operation. If
damaged, have the equipment serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power equipment.
 Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one power equipment may
become hazardous when used on other power equipment.
1.5 Service
 Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result ina risk of
injury.
 When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts.
Followinstructions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, and cleaning” section of
this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance
instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
1.6 Electrical
1.61 Electrical safety
 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 doubts as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or
break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity
away from the user.
 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 does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire
grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
 Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug
provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug.
Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have
it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS
 Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
 Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools
or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords
immediately.DamagedPowerCordsincreasetheriskofelectricshock.
 When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked
“W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce
the risk of electric shock.
1.6.2 Grounding
 Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three
prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded
outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user,
reducing the risk of electric shock. (See Figure A.)
 The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside
thecordtothegroundingsysteminthetool.Thegreenwireinthecordmust
betheonlywire connectedtothetool’s groundingsystem andmust never be
attached to an electrically “live” terminal.(See FigureA.)
 Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet
should look like those in the following illustration.(See FigureA.)

1.6.3 Extension cords -115volt
 115 volt Double Insulated power equipment can use either a two or three
wire 115 volt extension cord.
 As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier
gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire
causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool
damage.(See Figure B, nextpage.)
 The smaller the gauge numbers of the wire, the greater the capacity of the
cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a
16gauge cord.(See Figure B.)
 When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make
sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.(See figure
B)
 If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the
nameplateamperesandusethesumtodeterminetherequiredminimumcord
size. (See FigureB.)
 If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with
thesuffix“W-A” (“W” inCanada)toindicateitisacceptableforoutdooruse.
 Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical
condition.Alwaysreplaceadamagedextension cordorhaveitrepairedbya
