moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and
any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized
service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction
manual. Havedefective switches replacedby authorizedservicecenter. Don’t
use tool if switch does not turn

surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
20. REPLACEMENTPARTS. When servicing, useonly identicalreplacementparts.
21. POLARIZEDPLUGS. To reducethe riskof electric shock, this equipment has
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,
reversethe plug. If
it stilldoes not fit, contact aqualifiedelectriciantoinstall
the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connectingthe tooltoa power source (receptacle,
outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified
for the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY tothe user
- as well as damage to
the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with
voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

Use Of Extension Cord
If the extension cord is intended to be usedoutdoors, the cord shall be marked
withthe suffix W-A following the cord type designation, for example
- SJTW-
A. to indicate
it is acceptable for outdoor use. Use an extension cord heavy
enough tocarry the current the toolwill draw. Undersizecord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and over-heating. Make sure the exten-
sion cord is in good condition before using. Use the table below to determine
the proper wire size required in the extension cord.
