Vibration Safety
This tool vibrates during use.
Repeated or long- term exposure to vibration may cause temporary
or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and
shoulders.To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should
first be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to
ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use.
Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the
hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or
Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any symptoms
related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),
seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the
hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let
the tool do the work.

Grounding
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM
INCORRECT GROUNDING
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided
with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not
use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it
repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet,

- 9 -
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs
1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and
three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly
grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the
user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire
inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the
cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and
must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal. (See 3-Prong
Plug and Outlet.)
3. The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and
outlet should look like those in the preceding illustration. (See 3-Prong
Plug and Outlet.)
3-Prong Plug and Outlet
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
Your machine is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI),
which protects you against shock if a short circuit should occur. Check that
the receptacle is properly grounded and test the GFCI before each use.
1. Plug the GFCI Power Plug into a grounded, 120 VAC electrical
outlet.
