WARNING
WARNING
Avoid the risk of electric shock or severe injury. When the power cable gets damaged
it should only be replaced by the manufacturer or at a Authorized Service Center.
The build quality of the electric insulation is altered if spills or liquid gets into the tool while in use.
Do not expose to rain, liquids and/or dampness.
Before gaining access to the terminals all power sources should be disconnected.
Tools with double insulation are equipped with a polarized plug
(one prong is wider than the other). This plug will only fit in the right way into a
polarized outlet. If the plug cannot be introduced into the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still doesn’t fit, call a qualified electrician to install for you a polarized outlet. Do
not alter the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need of both a
grounded third power cord with three prongs or a grounded power connection.
When using an extension cable, verify the gauge is enough for
the power that your product needs. A lower gauge cable will cause voltage drop in the line, resulting in power loss and
overheating. The following table shows the right size to use depending on cable’s length and the ampere capability shown in
the tool’s nameplate. When in doubt use the next higher gauge.

When operating power tools outdoors, use a grounded
extension cable labeled “For Outdoors Use”. These extensions are especially designed
for operating outdoors and reduce the risk of electric shock.
