Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull
the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord
marked “W-A” or “W”.
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk
of electric shock. The following table shows the correct size to use, depending on
cord length and nameplate amperage rating of the tool. When in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. Always use UL and CSA listed extension cords.

PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use 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 switch is off before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on.
A wrench or
a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet,
etc.), be sure voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the
