Electrical Safety
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. .
If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
T h e r e i s a n increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from the outlet. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W."
T h e s e c o r d s are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
(Note) When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The recommended minimum is a 12 gauge extension cord not exceeding 50 feet.
