- Makeworkshopchildproof with padlocks,
masterswitches of by removingstarter keys.
Use the right tool. Don'tforce tool or
attachmentto do a job for which itwas not
designed.
Disconnecttools beforeservicing,when
changing accessories,cutters andthe like.
Reducethe risk of unintentionalstarting. Make
sure switch isin off position kforeplugging in.
Use recommendedaccessories.The use or
improper accessoriesmay cause risk of injury
to persons.
- Never leave tools running unattendedTurn power
off. Don't leavetool until it comesto a complete
Direction
of fed. Fedwork intoa cutter against
the directionofthe rotationof the cutter only.
- Damagedcords. Repairor replacedamagedor
worn cord immediately. Consult a qualified
electrician ifnecessarj.
Don'tforce tool. Itwill do thejob betterand safer at
the ratefor which itwas designed.

Inthe event of a malfunctionor breakdown,
grounding providesa path of least resistancefor
electriccurrent to reduce the risk of electricshock.
Thistool is equippedwithan electric cord, having an
equipment-grounding conductorand a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged intoa matching
outlet that is properlyinstalled and groundedin
accordancewith all localcodes and ordinances.
Donot modify the plug provided if itwill notfit the
outlet, havethe properoutlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improperconnectionof the equipment-grounding
conductorcan result ina risk of electricshock. The
conductorwith insulation, having an outer surface
that is green, with or without yellow stripes, is the
equipment-grounding conductor. Ifrepairof
replacementofthe electriccord or plug is necessary,
do not connect the equipment-grounding conductorto
a live terminal.
Check with a qualifiedelectrician,or service personal
if thegroundinginstructionsare not completely
understood,or if indoubt as to whether thetooling is
properlygrounded.
Useonly 3-wireextensioncords that have3-prong
grounding plugsand 3-pole receptaclesthat accept
the tools plug.
Thistool is intendedfor use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustratedbelow in
