GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only
REPAIR OR REPLACE DAMAGED OR WORN CORDS IMMEDIATELY.
Grounded tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts: This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illus- trated in Figure A. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figures B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
•REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
•KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
•DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet loca- tions, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
•KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.
•MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
•DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
•USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
•USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
