Additional Warnings
Electrical Safety
This double-insulated tool comes equipped with a polarized plug where
one blade is wider than the other. This plug only fits in a polarized outlet
one way. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do
not modify the plug in any way to fit a non-polarized outlet.
Double insulation eliminates the need for three-wire grounded cables
and plugs. Be certain that the outlet voltage supplied is within the
voltage marked on the tool. Never use AC tools with a DC power supply
or vice-versa.
Avoid coming in contact with pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators, and
other grounded devices as grounding your body increases your risk of
electric shock. If you must operate the tool in damp locations, use a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to supply the power to your tool.
Rubber electrician gloves and footwear provide further protection
against electrical shock.
Never use this power tool in rain or wet conditions as water entering the
tool greatly increases the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the power cord. Never carry or unplug the tool using the
cord. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts.
Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock and must be replaced
immediately.
When operating this tool outside, only use an outdoor-rated extension
cord to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Cutting Tool
This tool requires the use of two hands to ensure safe operation and
should not be used when working from ladders and stepladders.
WARNING! SOME WOOD AND WOOD TYPE PRODUCTS CAN
PRODUCE DUST THAT CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
ALWAYS USE OF AN APPROVED FACE MASK WITH REPLACEABLE

EXTRACTION FACILITY (IF AVAILABLE).
