Electric shock resulting in death
can occur if you plug this machine
into an improperly wired outlet. If
the ground wire is electrified, you
can be electrocuted by just touch-
ing the machine, even when the
power switch is off.
A ground fault
circuit interrupter will not protect you
in this situation. Use a UL approved
tester to determine if the outlet is
safe.
Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids,
