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.

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 nameplate of
the tool.
A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the
