ELECTRICAL

8

WARNING: Do not permit fingers to

touch the terminal or the plug when

installing or removing the plug from an

outlet.

To reduce the risk of electric shock,

double-insulated tools are equipped with

a polarized plug (one blade is wider than

the other). This plug will fit into a

polarized outlet only one way. If the plug

does not fit in the outlet properly, reverse

the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a

qualified electrician to install a polarized

outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way.

Double insulation eliminates the need for

the three-wire grounded power cord and

grounded power supply system.

Applicable only to Class II (double-

insulated) tools. This compound miter

saw is a double-insulated tool.

WARNING: Double insulation does

not take the place of normal safety

precautions when operating this tool.

Before plugging in the tool, be sure that

the outlet voltage supplied is within the

voltage marked on the tool’s data plate.

Do not use “AC only” rated tools with a

DC power supply.

Avoid body contact with grounded

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 or

wet conditions, and do not use power

tools in wet or damp locations. Water

entering a power tool will increase the

risk of electric shock. This tool is

intended for indoor use only.

If operating a power tool in damp

locations is unavoidable, always use a

ground fault circuit interrupter to supply

power to the tool. Always wear

electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear

in damp conditions.

Inspect tool cords for damage. Have

damaged tool cords repaired by a

qualified person. Be sure to stay

constantly aware of the cord location,

and keep it away from the moving blade.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the

cord to carry the tool or to remove the

plug from the outlet. Keep the cord

away from heat, oil, sharp edges and

moving parts. Replace damaged cords

immediately. Damaged cords increase

the risk of electric shock.

If you use an extension cord, make sure

to use only UL listed cords having the

correct gauge and length (see Table

1.2)
