9. Some wood contains preservatives that can be toxic. Take extra care to
prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials.
Request, and follow, all safety information available from your material
supplier.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! Do not touch or handle a live tool with any part of your body that
is wet or damp. Wet skin reduces resistance to electrical current,
increasing the danger of a serious or fatal shock.
WARNING! To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that the plug is
connected to a properly grounded receptacle.
1. Disconnect tool from power source before cleaning, servicing, changing
parts/accessories or when not in use.
2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical
equipment. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces. There is an
increased chance of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3. Do not expose the tool to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not disconnect the power cord in place of using the ON/OFF switch on
the tool. This will prevent an accidental start-up when the power cord is
plugged into the power supply.
a. In the event of a power failure, turn off the machine as soon as the
power is interrupted. The possibility of accidental injury could occur if
the power returns and the unit is not switched off.
5. Do not alter any parts of the tool or accessories. All parts and
accessories are designed with built-in safety features that may be
compromised if altered.
6. Make certain the power source conforms to requirements of your
equipment (see Specifications).

6 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685
7. When wiring an electrically driven device, follow all electrical and safety
codes, as well as the most recent Canadian Electrical Code (CE) and
Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS).
8. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Check with a
qualified electrician 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.
a. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way, as
this will render the tool unsafe.
b. Do not use any adapter plugs.
c. Ground the plastic components such as the hose and fittings with bare
12 gauge copper wire to discharge static build up.
9. This device is only for use on 120 V (single phase) and is equipped with a
3-prong grounded power supply cord and plug.
10. DO NOT use this device with a 2-prong wall receptacle.
a. Choose an available 3-prong power outlet.
b. Replace 2 prong outlet with a grounded 3-prong receptacle, installed
in accordance with the CE Code and local codes and ordinances.
WARNING! All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
POWER CORD
1. Insert the power cord plug directly to the power supply whenever possible.
Use extension cords or surge protectors only when the tool's power cord
cannot reach a power supply from the work area.
a. When operating a 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.
b. Use in conjunction with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). If
operating a 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.

2. Do not operate this tool if the power cord is frayed or damaged, as an electric
shock or surge may occur, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
a. Inspect the tool's power cord for cracks, fraying or other faults in the
insulation or plug before each use.
b. Discontinue use if a power cord feels more than comfortably warm
while operating the tool.
c. Have the power cord replaced by a qualified service technician.
3. Keep all connections dry and off the ground to reduce the risk of electric
shock. Do not touch plug with wet hands.
4. Prevent damage to the power cord by observing the following:
a. Do not pull on the cord to disconnect the plug from an outlet.
b. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
c. Never use the cord to carry the tool.
5. Do not allow people, mobile equipment or vehicles to pass over
unprotected power cords.
a. Position power cords away from traffic areas.
b. Place cords in reinforced conduits.
c. Place planks on either side of the power cord to create a
protective trench.
6. Do not wrap cord around the tool, as sharp edges may cut insulation or
cause cracks if wound too tight. Gently coil cord and either hang on a hook
or fasten with a device to keep cord together during storage.
POWER TOOL PRECAUTIONS
1. DO NOT use any power tool with a malfunctioning power switch or control.
A power tool that fails to respond to the controls is dangerous and could
cause an injury. A qualified technician must repair and verify the power tool
