Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by
the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in electric
shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. do not modify the power cord
plug provided with the tool. do not use the tool if the power cord
or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service
facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two Prong Plugs
Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require
grounding. They have a special double insula-
tion system which satisfies OSHA requirements
and complies with the applicable standards of
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian
Standard Association, and the National Electrical
Code. (See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)
Double insulated tools may be used in either of
the 10 volt outlets shown in the illustration to
the right. (See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)
Extension Cords
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can use
either a two or three wire extension cord.
As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge exten-
sion cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in
voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.
