also obstruct air ow under the Adapter. Place
the Adapter on a stable, solid, nonammable
surface (such as a stable metal workbench or
concrete oor) at least 1 foot away from all
ammable objects, such as drapes or walls. Keep
a re extinguisher and a smoke detector in the
area. Frequently monitor the Adapter and Battery
during use.
7. This product is not a toy. Keep it
out of reach of children.
8. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic elds in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. In
addition, people with pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical
shock.
• Any power cord must be properly
grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) should also be implemented – it
prevents sustained electrical shock.
9. 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 product,
but must be supplied by the operator.

INSTRUCTIONS.
Grounding
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC
SHOCK AND DEATH FROM
INCORRECT GROUNDING
WIRE CONNECTION:
Check with a qualied electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the
Adapter Cord Plug provided with the tool.
Never remove the grounding prong from
the Plug. Do not use the Adapter if the
Cord or Plug is damaged. If damaged,
have it repaired by a service facility before
use. If the Plug will not t the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualied
electrician.
Double Insulated Tools: Tools
with Two Prong Plugs
1.
Outlets for 2-Prong Plug
Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require
grounding. They have a special double insulation
system which satises 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.)
2. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the
120 volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration.
(See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)
Extension Cords
1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension
cord. Double Insulated tools can use
either a two or three wire extension cord.
2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases,
you must use a heavier gauge extension cord.
Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire
causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss
of power and possible tool damage.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the
greater the capacity of the cord. For example,
a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current
than a 16 gauge cord. (See Table A.)
