9. If the tool is equipped with three-pin plug, it
should be plugged into a three-pin electrical
socket. Never remove the ground pin.
10. 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.
11. To reduce the risk of electrical shock or injury,
do not expose tool to moisture.
Don’t use this tool in damp or wet locations.
Keep out of rain.
12. Do not abuse cord.
Never use the cord to carry tools or pull the
plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from
heat, sharp edges or moving parts. Check
for damage and replace damaged cords
immediately before connecting to power
supply. Damaged cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
13. Always disconnect the tool from power source
before making any adjustments, storing,
servicing, or changing accessories. Such
preventative safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the tool accidentally.
14. Keep away from ammables.
Do not attempt to operate this tool near
ammable materials or combustibles. Failure
to comply may cause serious injury or death.
15. Risk of Fire or Explosion.
