HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.

IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED THIS POWER

TOOL CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK --

PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN DAMP LOCA-

TIONS CLOSE TO PLUMBING. IF AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OCCURS THERE IS ALSO THE POTEN- TIAL OF A SECONDARY HAZARD SUCH AS YOUR HANDS CONTACTING THE SAWBLADE. NOT ALL OUTLETS ARE PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE THAT YOUR OUTLET IS PRO-
