Safety
“READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS” — Failure to follow the SAFETY RULES identified by BULLET (•) symbol listed
BELOW and other safety precautions, may result in serious personal injury.
Double Insulated Tools
Double insulation is a design concept used in electric
power tools which eliminates the need for the three wire
grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. It
is a recognized and approved system by Underwriter’s
Laboratories, CSA and Federal OSHA authorities.
Servicing of a tool with double insulation
requires care and knowledge of the
system and should be performed only by a qualified service
technician.
WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY
IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk
of electrical shock, your tool is 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 the proper outlet. To
reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not change the plug in
any way.

WARNING
!
Replace damaged cords immediately.
Use of damaged cords can shock, burn or
electrocute.
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord
with adequate size conductors should be
used to prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. The table shows the correct size to use,
depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating of
tool. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Always use U.L.
and CSA listed extension cords.
RECOMMENDED SIZES OF EXTENSION CORDS
120 VOLT ALTERNATING CURRENT TOOLS
NOTE:
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
