WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you read this instruction manual for safety,
operation and maintenance instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
WORK AREA SAFETY
 Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

ELECTRICAL SATETY
Grounding instructions
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least
resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric
cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into
a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and
ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a licensed electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The
conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding
conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the
equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure if the tool is properly grounded.
USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have 3-pronged plugs and outlets that accept the
tool's plug as shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
CAUTION:
In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure if it
is, have a licensed electrician check the outlet.
