General Safety Rules

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

•Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

•Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, 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, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

•Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordi- nances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the out- let is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunc- tion or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user. The DW223G and the DW235G units are grounded. Applicable only to Class I (grounded) tools.

•Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polar- ized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the out- let, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified

electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three

wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. Applicable only to Class II (double insulated) tools. The DW217, DW221, DW222, DW223, DW226, DW231, DW235, DW236, DW245 and DW246 units have a polarized plug. The DW217, DW221, DW222, DW223, DW223-220, DW226, DW231, DW235, DW235-220, DW236, DW238, DW239, DW245, DW246, DW248 and DW249 units are double insulated. The DW223-220, and DW235-220 units are rated at 230 volts and they are fitted with the 220 volt style plug which is not polarized.

•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.

•Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

•Do not 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 increase the risk of electric shock.

•When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor exten- sion cord marked “W-A” or “W.” These cords are rated for out- door use and reduce the risk of electric shock. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the cur- rent your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The follow- ing table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier

gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
