This cutting tool is double insulated to protect you from electrical shock.
IA WAJ NING
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. ffthe plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified eis_dcisn to install a polarized outlet. [3o not alter the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.
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. Water entedng a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or pull the plug from the outleL Keep cord
away from heat, off, sharp edges and moving parts. Replace damaged cords Immediately. Damaged cords increase the dsk of electdc shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, usa an outdoor extension cord marked
IJ_ WARNING I
Always makesure the receptacle is polarized. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to can/the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in lose of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it. Protect your extension cord from sharp ct_jects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your power tools. This circuit must not be less than 14 gauge wire and should be protected with either a 15 Ampere time delay fuse or circuit breaker. Before connecting the power tool to the power source, make sure the switch is in the OFF
position and the power source is the same as indicated on the nameplate. Running at lower voltage will damage the motor.
IA WARNING
Repair or replace damaged or worn extension cords immediately,
Select the appropriate extension cord gauge and length using the chart below.
