IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and personal injury, including the following:
1.
Read All Instructions
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 lug to fit 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
sketches (B) and (C), is available for connecting 115V 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. (See Table 2, Page 5)

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 1)
4.
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 flammable liquids or gases.
5.
Guard Against Electric Shock
Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example: pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
6. Safety Chains
For Operator safety -Always use the provided safety chain every time you use the unit. Failure to use the safety
chain can result in serious personal injury plus possible damage to your machine.
10. 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.
7.
Keep Children Away
Do not let visitors contact tool. All visitors should be kept away from work area.
8.
Store Idle Tools
When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, land high or locked-up place — out of reach of children.
9.
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.
