SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – this Operator’s Manual contains important safety and operating instruction for 3M Power Supply.
To reduce the risk of injury. Operate the 3M Electric power tool with the 3M Power Supply. Other types of power supplies may cause personal injury or
damage.
Avoid dangerous environments. Do not operate the tool or Power Supply in rain, snow, damp or wet locations. Do not use Power Supply in the presence of
explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or flammable materials) because sparks may be generated when inserting or removing attached tool, possibly
causing fire.
Maintain power cords and cables. When unplugging AC power cord, pull plug rather than cord to reduce the risk of damage to the electrical plug and cord.
Never carry Power Supply by its cord. Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges. Make sure cord will not be stepped on, tripped over or subjected to damage or
stress. Do not use Power Supply with damaged cord or plug. Have a damaged cord replaced immediately.
Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Using the wrong, damaged or improperly wired extension cord could result in the risk of fire
and electrical shock. If an extension cord must be used, plug the Power Supply into a properly wired 18 AWG or larger extension cord with pins that are the same
number, size and shape as the pins of the power supply cord. See table below. Make sure that the extension cord is in good electrical condition.

Power Supply is rated for 100-240 Volt AC only (Evaluated @ 100-120 Volt AC only for U.S. and Canada). Power Supply must be plugged into an appropriate
receptacle.
Unplug Power Supply when not in use. Remove Electric tool from the unplugged Power Supply.
To reduce the risk of electric shock. Always unplug Power Supply before cleaning or maintenance. Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock
hazards.
Do not crush, drop or damage Power Supply. Do not use a Power Supply that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run-over, or damaged in any way (e.g.
pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on).
Do not disassemble. Incorrect reassembly may result in the risk of electric shock or fire. If it is damaged, return to 3M for service.
