IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electric tools, machines or equipment, basic safety precautions 

injury.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TOOL 
1. WARNING 

Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may 

2. WORK AREA 

 Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite 

accidents. 

 Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of 

or fumes. 

 Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions 

can cause you to lose control. 

3. ELECTRICAL SAFETY 

 Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the 

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. 

 Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and 

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded. 

 Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will 

increase the risk of electric shock. 

 Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an 

outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged 
cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. 

 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. 

4. PERSONAL SAFETY 

 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a 

medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
