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.
