IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and personal

Double Insulation
Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate
loyers of electrical insulation or one double thickness of insulation
between you and the tool's electrical system. Tools built with this
insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your
tool is equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to use
extension cords without concern for maintaining a ground connection.
NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool. The insulation system is for
added protection againsf injury resulting from
a possible electrical
insulation failure within the tool.
CAUTION: When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
Repair or replace damaged cords.
Polarized Plugs
Polarized plugs (one blade is wider than the other) are used on
equipment to reduce the risk of electric shock. When provided, this
plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If It still does not fit, contact a
■ qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug
in any way.
