ELECTRICAL

8

WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminal or the plug when installing or removing the plug from an outlet.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, double-insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit in the outlet properly, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not alter 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. This compound miter saw is a double-insulated tool. WARNING: Double insulation does

not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this tool.

Before plugging in the tool, be sure that the outlet voltage supplied is within the voltage marked on the tool’s data plate. Do not use “AC only” rated tools with a DC power supply.

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.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions, and do not use power tools in wet or damp locations. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. This tool is intended for indoor use only.

If operating a power tool in damp locations is unavoidable, always use a ground fault circuit interrupter to supply power to the tool. Always wear electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear in damp conditions.

Inspect tool cords for damage. Have damaged tool cords repaired by a qualified person. Be sure to stay constantly aware of the cord location, and keep it away from the moving blade.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or to remove the plug from the outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

If you use an extension cord, make sure to use only UL listed cords having the correct gauge and length (see Table 1.2)
