When using electrical tools please follow basic safety requirements for your own safe-

ty and also to reduce risk of fire and electric shock.

PLEASE READ YOUR INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE

BEGINNING OPERATION.

EXTENSION CORDS:

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good con-

dition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the 

current your products will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage 

resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table noted below, shows the correct size 

to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the 

next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only exten-

sion cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.

STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool 

when you are tired.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that 

is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and 

perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving 

parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its opera-

tion. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by 

an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction 

manual. Have defective switches replaced by authorized service center. Do not use 

tool if switch does not turn tool on and off.
