SPECIFICATION

WARNING! ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below, may result in electrical shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
NOTE: This portable tool has been manufactured in accordance with the applicable standards and
equipment safety legislation. When using electrical appliances, it is important to take safety
precautions to avoid possible injury and damage. For that reason, you should carefully read and
store these instructions so that this information is available at all times.
    SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Work Area
1.Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
2.Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presences of
 flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which can ignite dust or fumes.
3.Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
 cause you to loose control.
Electrical Safety
1.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.
2.Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
 refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3.Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
 increase the risk of electrical shock.
4.Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from the
 outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged
 cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electrical shock.
5.When operating a power 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.
Personal Safety
1.Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.
 Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
 of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
 clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
 caught in moving parts.
3.Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your
 finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
4.Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
 attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
5.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
 enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
6.Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
 hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

Extension Cords
1.Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure
 to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
 cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
2.Select the correct size to use depending on Ampere (AMP) rating, cord length, Voltage
 (Volts) and Gauge (AWG). If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
 number, the heavier the cord. Refer to Table 1.
3.Outdoor Use Extension Cords. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended
 for use outdoors and so marked.
4.Use only UL listed extension cords. Inspect extension cord before use and never use damaged
 altered extension cords. Follow extension cord manufacturer safety instructions.
