SAfETy INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL SAfETy
Do not permit fingers
to touch the terminal or plug when
installing or removing the plug from an
outlet.
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
double insulated tools are equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other).
This plug will fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit in the
outlet properly, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician
to install a polarized outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way.
2.
Double insulation eliminates the need
for the three-wire grounded power cord
and grounded power supply system.
This
compound miter saw is a double-insulated
tool.
Double insulation
DOES NOT take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool.
3. bEfORE plugging in the tool, bE SURE
that the outlet voltage supplied is within
the voltage marked on the tool’s data plate.
DO NOT use “AC only” rated tools with a DC
power supply.
4.
AVOID body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is grounded.
5.
DO NOT expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions, and do not use power tools
in wet or damp locations.
Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock. This tool is intended for indoor use
only.
6.
If operating a power tool in damp
locations is unavoidable, ALWAyS USE a
Ground fault Circuit Interrupter
to supply
power to your tool. ALWAyS WEAR
electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear in
damp conditions.
7.
INSPECT tool cords for damage. Have
damaged tool cords repaired by a qualified
person. BE SURE to stay constantly aware
of the cord location, and keep it well away
from the moving blade.
8.
DO NOT abuse the cord. NEVER
use
the cord to carry the tool or to remove the
plug from the outlet. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
