SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!
Work Area Safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate equipment in explosive atmo -
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases or dust. Equipment can create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and by-standers away while op -
erating equipment.
Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Electrical Safety
US Model
• Double-insulated tools are equipped with a po -
larized plug (one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the socket,
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.
EU Model
• Double-insulated tools are equipped with a non-
polarised 2 pin plug.
Double insulation eliminates
the need for the three-wire grounded power cord
and grounded supply system.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and re-
frigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose equipment to rain or wet condi -
tions. Water entering equipment will increase the
risk of electrical shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the equipment.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
• If operating equipment in a damp location is un -
avoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock.
• Keep all electrical connections dry and off the
ground. Do not touch equipment or plugs with
wet hands. This reduces the risk of electrical shock.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating equipment. Do
not use equipment while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
