Safety Instructions
Warning:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal
injury, always read and follow all instructions.
The gear housing, intermediate plate, blade and pivoting guide shoe
are likely electric conductors if the blade cuts into live wiring within
a wall. Strictly limit the tool's usage to its intended operation. Use for
any application beyond the designed operation could cause danger.
Polarized Plugs
To reduce the risk of electric shock this equipment has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. Do not alter this plug in any way.
