ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Disconnect power supply. Disconnect from power supply when not in use, before cleaning, servicing or
changing any parts or accessories.
2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical equipment. Avoid body contact with
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cooking stoves and refrigerators. There is an increased chance
of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will
fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, 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. Double
insulation eliminates the need for a three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
4. 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 tool should electronically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry
electricity away from the user.
5. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
6. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Do not operate this tool if the power cord is frayed or damaged.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. Do not modify the
plug in any way.
7. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are
rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. Use in conjunction with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI). If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, the use of a GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock. It is recommended that the GFCI should have a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
8. Avoid using an unnecessarily long extension cord. Choose a cord that is appropriate for the situation, as a
cord that is too long and running across the floor can be more dangerous than helpful. Using a cord that is
too long or too thin could damage the tool. Unroll the cord completely to prevent it from overheating.
9. Place the electrical cord in a position that prevents it from coming into contact with the tool and from getting
caught into the work piece. The cord should always stay behind the tool.
EXTENSION CORDS
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire
extension cord. As the distance from the power supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension
cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power
and possible tool damage. Refer to the table below to determine the required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example: a 14-gauge cord can
carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord for more than one tool, add
the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size.
