2. Grounding Instructions
This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electric shock. The tool is equipped
with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding type
plug to fi t the proper grounding type receptacle. The
green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the
grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and
yellow) wire to a live terminal. If your unit is for use on
115V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch
(A). If it is for use on 230V, it has a plug that looks like
that shown in sketch (D). An adapter, see sketch
and (C), is available for connecting sketch (A) type
plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green-colored rigid
ear, lug, or the like, extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly
grounded outlet box. No adapter is available for a plug
as shown in sketch (D).
3. Extension Cords
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool’s plug. Replace or repair damaged cords.
Make sure the conductor size is large enough to prevent
excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of power
and possible motor damage. See Table below.

4. Do Not Force Tool
It will do the job better and faster at the rate for which it
was intended.
5. Keep Work Area Clean
Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries. Keep dirt
and chips from under magnet and Hougen Cutter
area.
6. Consider Work Area Environment
Do not expose tool to rain.
Do not use tool in damp or wet locations.
Keep work area well lit.
Do not use tool in presence of fl ammable liquids or
gases.
7. Guard Against Electric Shock
Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For
example: pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator
enclosures.
8. Keep Children Away
Do not let visitors contact tool. All visitors should be
kept away from work area.
9. Store Idle Tools
When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, and
high or locked-up place — out of reach of children.
10. Use Right Tool
Do not force small tool or attachment to do the job of a
heavy duty tool. Do not use tool for purpose not
intended — for example — do not use a circular saw for
cutting tree limbs or logs.
11. Secure Work
Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It is safer than using
your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
12. Always Wear Safety Glasses or Goggles
13. Dress Properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They might
entangle with spinning chips or get caught in moving
parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are
recommended when working outdoors. Wear sturdy
leather gloves when working indoors.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
14. Do Not Abuse Cord
Never carry drill unit by its cord or yank it to discon-
nect from receptacle.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
15. Do Not Overreach
Keep proper footing and balance at all time.
16. Maintain Tools With Care
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance.
Do not use dull or broken Hougen Cutters.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged,
have repaired by authorized service facility.
Inspect extension cords periodically and, if damaged,
have repaired by authorized service facility.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease.
