INSTRUCTIONS
AREA
• Keep your work area clean and well lit, Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite _cc;dents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive stmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes,
• Keep bystanders, children, andvbltore eweywblls
operating a power tool. Distractionscan cause you to
lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Double Insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug wi(I fit in a polarized out(st only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact • qualified eleoVldan
to install e polarized out(eL Do nat change the plug
in any way. Double insulation[] eliminatesthe need
for the three-wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system.
• Avoid body contact wlth grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, range_, and rstrlperatore. There
Is an Increasedrisk of electricshock Ifyour body Is
grounded.
• Don't expose power tools to rein or wet conditions`
Water enteringa power tool will Increase the risk of
erectricshock.
• Do nat abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increasethe risk of electricshock.
• When operating s power tool outside, use an outdoor
exterBIon cord marked '=W-A" or =If_. These cords
are ratedfor outdooruseand reducethe riskof electric
shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY

TOOL USE AND CARE
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workplece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstableand
may lead to loss of centroL
• Do not force too/. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct too( will do the job better and

Any tool that cannot be controlledwith the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing the tool. Such preventivesafety measures
reduce the risk of startingthe tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persona. Tootsare dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
• Mdntsln tools wtth cars. Keep cuffing tools sharp
and clean. Properlymaintainedtoolswith sharp cutting edges are less likelyto bind and are easier to
control
• Check for misaitgnment or binding of moving parts,
brsekags of parts, and any othe_ condition that
may effect the tool's operation. If damaged, have
the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the

DOUBLE INSULATION
EXTENSION CORDS
Double insulationis a concept in safety in electricpower
tools, which eliminates the need for the usualthres-wlre
grounded power cord. AJiexposed metal parts are
isolatedfrom the internalmetal motor componentswith
protectinginsulation.Double insulatedtools do not need
to be grounded.
When using a power tool at a considerabledistance from
a power soume, be sure to use an extensioncord that has
the capacity to handle the currentthe toot will draw. An
undersizedcordwill cause a drop in tinsvoltage, resulting
in overheatingand lose of power, Use the ohartto determine the minimumwire size required in an extensioncord.
Only roundjacketed cords listed by Undsrwriter'sLaboratories (UL) shouk_be used.
WARNING: The double insulated system is
intended to pmteot the user from shook resulting
from a break in the tool's internalinsulation.Observe
ell norm_ safety presautio_s to evo{daIeotl'tce,

shook.
NOTE: Servicingof a tool with double insulationrequires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should
be performedonly by a qualified servicetechnician. For
service,we suggestyou return the tool to your nearest
authorrzed service center for repair.A_vaysuse original
faotory replacement parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
This tool has a precLsion-builtslectYicmotor,Itshould be
connected to a power supply that Is 120 volts, 60 Hz,
AC only (normal household current). Do not operate
this tool on directcurrent (DC). A substantialvoltage drop
will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If
yourtool does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double-check the power suppry.
When working outdoorswith a tool, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. Thistype of cord is
designatedwith =WA= on the cord'siacket.
Before usingany extensioncord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
