grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded 
in accordance with all codes and ordinances.  never remove the grounding 
prong or modify the plug in any way.  do not use any adapter plugs.  check with 
a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly 
grounded.

  If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding 

provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

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.

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 power cord.  never use the power cord to carry the tools or 
pull the plug from an outlet.  keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp 
edges, or moving parts.  replace damaged power cords immediately.

  Dam-

aged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

when operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked 
“w-A” or “w”.  

These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the 

risk of electric shock.

stay alert.  watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operat-
ing a power tool.  do not use a power 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.

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.

Avoid accidental starting.  be sure the power switch is off before plugging 
in. 

 Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in power 

tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
