ELECTRICAL SAFETY
4.Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
5.Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and re- frigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
6.Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
7.Do not abuse the cord. Never use 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.

sures reduce the risk of starting the |
tool accidentally. |
19. Store idle power tools out of the |
reach of children and do not al- |
low persons unfamiliar with the |
power tools or these instructions |
to operate power tools. Power |
tools are dangerous in the hands of |
untrained users. |
20. Maintain power tools. Check for |
misalignment or binding of mov- |
ing parts, breakage of parts and |
any other condition that may af- |
fect the power tool's operation. If |
damaged, have the power tool |
repaired before use. Many acci- |
dents are caused by poorly maintained |
power tools. |

clean. Properly maintained cutting |
tools with sharp cutting edges are less |
likely to bind and are easier to control. |
