General Safety Warnings

WARNING Read all safety

warnings and instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric

shock, re and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and

instructions for future reference.

The term ″power tool″ in the

warnings refers to your line-

operated (corded) power tool.

Work area safety1.

Keep work area clean and well lit. a.

Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-

dents.

Do not operate power tools in b.

explosive atmospheres, such as in

the presence of ammable liquids,

gases or dust. Power tools create

sparks which may ignite the dust or

fumes.

Keep children and bystanders c.

away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

Electrical safety2.

Power tool plugs must match the a.

outlet. Never modify the plug in

any way. Do not use any adapter

plugs with grounded power tools.

Unmodied plugs and matching out-

lets will reduce risk of electric shock.

SKU 66133 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 3

Avoid body contact with grounded b.

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 rain c.

or wet conditions. Water entering

a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use d.

the cord for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep

cord away from heat, oil, sharp

edges or moving parts. Damaged

or entangled cords increase the risk

of electric shock.

When operating a power tool out-e.

doors, use an extension cord suit-

able for outdoor use. Use of a cord

suitable for outdoor use reduces the

risk of electric shock.

If operating a power tool in a damp f.

location is unavoidable, use a

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

(GFCI) protected supply. Use of

a GFCI reduces the risk of electric

shock.

Personal safety3.

Stay alert, watch what you are do-a.

ing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use

a power tool while you are tired

or under the inuence of drugs,

alcohol or medication. A moment

of inattention while operating power

tools may result in serious personal

injury.

Use personal protective equip-b.

ment. Always wear ANSI-approved

safety goggles. Safety equipment

such as a NIOSH-approved dust

mask/respirator, non-skid safety

shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection

used for appropriate conditions will

reduce personal injuries.

Prevent unintentional starting. c.

Ensure the switch is in the off-po-

sition before connecting to power

source and/or battery pack, pick-

ing up or carrying the tool. Carry-

ing power tools with your nger on

the switch or energizing power tools

that have the switch on invites acci-

dents.

Remove any adjusting key or d.

wrench before turning the power

tool on. A wrench or a key left at-

tached to a rotating part of the power

tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper e.

footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose f.

clothing or jewelry. Keep your

hair, clothing and gloves away

from moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewelry or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

Power tool use and care4.

Do not force the power tool. Use a.

the correct power tool for your ap-

plication. The correct power tool will

do the job better and safer at the rate

for which it was designed.

Do not use the power tool if the b.

switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be con-

trolled with the switch is dangerous

and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the c.

power source before making any

adjustments, changing accesso-

ries, or storing power tools. Such

SKU 66133 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 4

preventive safety measures reduce

the risk of starting the power tool ac-

cidentally.

Store idle power tools out of the d.

reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the power

tool or these instructions to oper-

ate the power tool. Power tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained

users.

Maintain power tools. Check for e.

misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any

other condition that may affect the

power tool’s operation. If dam-

aged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained power

tools.

Keep cutting tools sharp and f.

clean. Properly maintained cutting

tools with sharp cutting edges are

less likely to bind and are easier to

control.

Use the power tool and its acces-g.

sories in accordance with these

instructions, taking into account

the working conditions and the

work to be performed. Use of the

power tool for operations different

from those intended could result in a

hazardous situation.

Service5.

Have your power tool serviced by a.

a qualied repair person using

only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the

power tool is maintained.

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 electrical

Outlet is a Ground Fault

Interrupter (GFCI) Outlet and

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

Tools marked with “Grounding Re-1.

quired” have a three wire Cord and

three prong grounding Plug. The

Plug must be connected to a prop-

erly grounded GFCI 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.

The grounding prong in the Plug is 2.

connected through the green wire

inside the Cord to the grounding

system in the tool. The green wire in

the Cord must be the only wire con-

nected to the tool’s grounding system

and must never be attached to an

electrically “live” terminal.

The tool must be plugged into an 3.

appropriate Outlet, properly installed

and grounded in accordance with all

codes and ordinances.

EXTENSION CORDS

Grounded tools require a three wire 1.

Extension Cord (not included).

As the distance from the supply outlet 2.

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, next page.)

The smaller the gauge number of the 3.

wire, the greater the capacity of the

Cord. For example, a 14 gauge Cord

can carry a higher current than a 16

gauge Cord. (See Table A.)

When using more than one Exten-4.

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 Cord 5.

for more than one tool, add the

nameplate amperes and use the sum
