6. Connect the tool to an AC power supply that
matches the name plate specication. Incorrect voltage
supply can cause electrical shock or burns.
7. Use only three-wire extension cords which have
three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacle
which accept the tool’s plug. Use of other extension
cords will not ground the tool and increase the risk of
electrical shock.
8. Use proper extension cords (see Chart). Insufcient
conductor size will cause excessive overheating.
9. Keep all extension cord connections dry and off
the ground. Do not touch plugs or tool with wet
hands. Reduces the risk of electrical shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or
medications. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. Contain long hair. Keep 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 nger on
the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
4. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5. Use safety equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection must be
used for appropriate conditions.
6. Operate machine from side with REV/OFF/FOR
switch.
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUC-
TIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
LISTED MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, AND/
OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches
and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
3. Keep by-standers, children, and visitors away while
operating a tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
4. Do not let visitors contact the tool or extension cord.
Such preventative measures reduce the risk of injury.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet,
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the
grounding plug or modify the plug in any way. Do not
use adapter plugs. Check with a qualied electrician
if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. If the tool should electrically malfunction
or break down, grounding provides a low resistance
path to carry electricity away from the user.
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. Do not expose electrical parts to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a tool will increase the risk of
electrical shock.
4. Do not abuse 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 tool outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked “W-A” Or “W”. These cords are
rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electrical
shock.
