resistance path to carry electricity away from the 
user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
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.
Your 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 
Figure A.

Double Insulated Tools:
Tools with Two Prong Plugs

Tools marked "Double Insulated" do not require 
grounding. They have a special double insulation sys-
tem which satisfi es OSHA requirements and complies 
with the applicable standards of 
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the 
Canadian Standard Association and 
the National Electrical Code. Double 
Insulated tools may be used in ei-
ther of the 120 volt outlets shown in 
Figures B and C.

Grounded tools require a three wire extension 
cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two 
or three wire extension cord. As the distance from 
the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier 
gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with 
inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in 
voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool 
damage. Refer to the table shown to determine the 
required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the 
greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 
gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 
gauge cord. When using more than one extension 
cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord 
contains at least the minimum wire size required. If 
you are using one extension cord for more than one 
tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to 
determine the required minimum wire size.

Guidelines for Using Extension Cords

• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure 

it is marked with the suffi x "W-A" ("W" in Canada) 
to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.

• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired 

and in good electrical condition. Always replace a 
damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a 
qualifi ed person before using it.

• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, 

excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

back will propel the tool in direction opposite to the 
wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.

• 

Use special care when working corners, sharp 
edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the ac-
cessory. 

Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a 

tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause 
loss of control or kickback.

• 

Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or 
toothed saw blade. 

Such blades create frequent 

kickback and loss of control.

Safety Warnings Specifi c for Grinding and Abra-
sive Cutting-Off Operations:

• 

Use only wheel types that are recommended for 
your power tool and the specifi c guard designed 
for the selected wheel. 

Wheels for which the 

power tool was not designed can not be adequately 
guarded and are unsafe.

• 

The guard must be securely attached to the 
power tool and positioned for maximum safety, 
so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards 
the operator. 

The guard helps to protect operator 

from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact 
with wheel. 

• 

Wheels must be used only for recommended 
applications. For example: do not grind with the 
side of cut-off wheel. 

Abrasive cut-off wheels are 

intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied 
to these wheels may cause them to shatter.

• 

Always use undamaged wheel fl anges that are of 
correct size and shape for your selected wheel. 

Proper wheel fl anges support the wheel thus reduc-
ing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for 
cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel 
fl anges.

• 

Do not use worn down wheels from larger power 
tools. 

Wheel intended for larger power tool is not 

suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and 
may burst.

Additional Safety Warnings Specifi c for Abrasive 
Cutting-Off Operations:

• 

Do not jam the cut-off wheel or apply excessive 
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive 
depth of cut. 

Overstressing the wheel increases the 

loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of 
the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback 
or wheel breakage.

• 

Do not position your body in line with and be-
hind the rotating wheel. 

When the wheel, at the 

point of operation, is moving away from your body, 
the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel 
and the power tool directly at you.

• 

When wheel is binding or when interrupting a 
cut for any reason, switch off the power tool 
and hold the power tool motionless until the 
wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt 
to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while 
the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may 
occur.

 Investigate and take corrective action to 

eliminate the cause of wheel binding.

• 

Do not restart the cutting operation in the 
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and 
carefully reenter the cut. 

The wheel may bind, 

walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in 
the workpiece.

• 

Support panels or any oversized workpiece to 
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kick-

back. 

Large workpieces tend to sag under their 

own weight. Supports must be placed under the 
workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of 
the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.

• 

Use extra caution when making a "pocketcut" 
into existing walls or other blind areas. 

The pro-

truding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical 
wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

Safety Warnings Specifi c for Sanding Operations:

• 

Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc 
paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations, 
when selecting sanding paper. 

Larger sanding 

paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a 
laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing 
of the disc or kickback.

Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing 
Operations:

• 

Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the 
brush even during ordinary operation. Do not 
over stress the wires by applying excessive load 
to the brush. 

The wire bristles can easily penetrate 

light clothing and/or skin.

• 

If the use of a guard is recommended for wire 
brushing, do not allow any interference of the 
wire wheel or brush with the guard. 

Wire wheel 

or brush may expand in diameter due to workload 
and centrifugal forces.

Additional Safety Warnings

 Maintain labels and nameplates. 

These carry 

important information. If unreadable or missing, 
contact a service facility for a free replacement.

• 

WARNING: 

Some dust created by power sanding, 

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction 
activities contains chemicals known to cause can-
cer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some 
examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other 

masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated 

lumber.

 Your risk from these exposures varies, depending 

on how often you do this type of work. To reduce 
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well 
ventilated area, and work with approved safety 
equipment, such as those dust masks that are spe-
cially designed to fi lter out microscopic particles.

WARNING

  Improperly connecting the 

grounding wire can result in the risk of electric 
shock. Check with a qualifi ed electrician if you 
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly 
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with 
the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from 
the plug. Do not use the tool if the cord or plug 
is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a 
service facility before use. If the plug will not 
fi t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a 
qualifi ed electrician.
Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs

Tools marked "Grounding Required" have a three 
wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug 
must be connected to a properly grounded outlet 
(See Figure A). If the tool should electrically mal-
function or break down, grounding provides a low
