warnings and instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric

shock, re and/or serious injury.

WORK AREA

Keep your work area clean and1.

well lit. Cluttered benches and dark

sparks which may ignite the dust or

fumes.

Keep bystanders, children, and3.

visitors away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control. Protect others

in the work area from debris such as

chips and sparks. Provide barriers or

shields as needed.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Grounded tools must be plugged1.

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 qualied 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.

Double insulated tools are2.

equipped with a polarized plug

(one blade is wider than the other).

This plug will t in a polarized out-

let only one way. If the plug does

not t fully in the outlet, reverse

the plug. If it still does not t, con-

tact a qualied electrician to install

a polarized outlet. Do not change

the plug in any way. Double insula-

tion eliminates the need for the

three wire grounded power cord and

grounded power supply system.

Avoid body contact with grounded3.

surfaces such as pipes, radiators,

ranges, and refrigerators. There is

an increased risk of electric shock if

your body is grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain4.

or wet conditions. Water entering

a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

Do not abuse the Power Cord.5.

Never use the Power Cord to carry

the tools or pull the Plug from an

outlet. Keep the Power Cord away

from heat, oil, sharp edges, or

moving parts. Replace damaged

Power Cords immediately. Dam-

aged Power Cords increase the risk

of electric shock.

When operating a power tool out-6.

side, use an outdoor extension

cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These

extension cords are rated for outdoor

use, and reduce the risk of electric

shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert. Watch what you are do-1.

ing, and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use

a power tool while tired or under

the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or

medication. A moment of inatten-

tion while operating power tools may

result in serious personal injury.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose2.

clothing or jewelry. Contain long

hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and

gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

Avoid accidental starting.3. Be sure

the Power Switch is off before

plugging in. Carrying power tools

with your nger on the Power Switch,

or plugging in power tools with the

Power Switch on, invites accidents.

Remove adjusting keys or wrench-4.

es before turning the power tool

on. A wrench or a key that is left at-

tached to a rotating part of the power

tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper5.

footing and balance at all times.

Proper footing and balance enables

ANSI-approved safety glasses under

a properly shaded welding helmet.

Respirator, leather work shoes with

rubber soles, hard hat or hearing pro-

conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

Use clamps (not included) or other1.

practical ways to secure and sup-

port the work piece to a stable

platform. Holding the work by hand

or against your body is unstable and

may lead to loss of control.

Do not force the tool. Use the cor-2.

rect tool for your application. The

correct tool will do the job better and

safer at the rate for which it is de-

signed.

Do not use the power tool if the3.

or off. Any tool that cannot be con-

trolled with the Power Switch is dan-

gerous and must be replaced.

Disconnect the Power Cord Plug4.

making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing the tool.

Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the tool ac-

cidentally.

Tools are dangerous in the hands of

untrained users.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cut-6.

ting tools sharp and clean. Prop-

erly maintained tools with a sharp

cutting edge are less likely to bind

and are easier to control. Do not use

a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools

Check for misalignment or binding7.

of moving parts, breakage of parts,

and any other condition that may

affect the tool’s operation. If dam-

aged, have the tool serviced before

using. Many accidents are caused

by poorly maintained tools.

Use only accessories that are8.

recommended by the manufac-

turer for your model. Accessories

that may be suitable for one tool may

become hazardous when used on

another tool.

SERVICE

Tool service must be performed1.

only by qualied repair personnel.

Service or maintenance performed by

GROUNDING

TO PREVENT

ELECTRIC SHOCK

AND DEATH FROM

INCORRECT GROUNDING

WIRE CONNECTION:

Check with a qualied

electrician if you are in doubt

as to whether the outlet is

properly grounded. Do not

modify the power cord plug

provided with the tool. Never

remove the grounding prong

from the plug. Do not use the

tool if the power cord or plug

is damaged. If damaged, have

it repaired by a service facility

before use. If the plug will not

t the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualied

electrician.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three

Prong Plugs

1. Tools marked with “Grounding Re-

quired” have a three wire cord and

three prong grounding plug. The

plug must be connected to a properly

grounded outlet. If the tool should

electrically malfunction or break

down, grounding provides a low

resistance path to carry electricity

away from the user, reducing the risk

of electric shock. (See 3-Prong Plug

and Outlet.)

The grounding prong in the plug is2.

connected through the green wire in-

side the cord to the grounding system

in the tool. The green wire in the cord

must be the only wire connected to

the tool’s grounding system and must

never be attached to an electrically

“live” terminal. (See 3-Prong Plug

and Outlet.)

The tool must be plugged into an3.

appropriate outlet, properly installed

and grounded in accordance with all

codes and ordinances. The plug and

outlet should look like those in the

preceding illustration. (See 3-Prong

Plug and Outlet.)

Double Insulated Tools: Tools

with Two Prong Plugs

1. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do

not require grounding. They have

a special double insulation system

which satises OSHA requirements

and complies with the applicable

standards of Underwriters Labora-

tories, Inc., the Canadian Standard

Association, and the National Electri-

cal Code. (See Outlets for 2-Prong

Plug.)

Page 10SKU 91110 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

Double insulated tools may be used2.

in either of the 120 volt outlets shown

in the preceding illustration. (See

Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)

Extension Cords

Grounded1. 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 supply outlet2.

increases, you must use a heavier

gauge extension cord. Using exten-

sion cords with inadequately sized

wire causes a serious drop in voltage,

resulting in loss of power and pos-

sible tool damage.

(See Table A.) The smaller the

gauge number of the wire, the greater

the capacity of the cord. For ex-

ample, a 14 gauge cord can carry a

higher current than a 16 gauge cord.

(See Table A.)

When using more than one exten-3.

sion cord to make up the total length,

make sure each cord contains at

least the minimum wire size required.

(See Table A.)

If you are using one extension cord4.

for more than one tool, add the

nameplate amperes and use the sum

to determine the required minimum

cord size. (See Table A.)

If you are using an extension cord5.

outdoors, make sure it is marked with

the sufx “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to

indicate it is acceptable for outdoor

use.

Make sure the extension cord is prop-6.

erly wired and in good electrical con-

dition. Always replace a damaged

extension cord or have it repaired by

a qualied electrician before using it.

Protect the extension cords from7.

sharp objects, excessive heat, and

damp or wet areas.
