SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• If the supply cord of this power tool
is damaged, it must be replaced
by a specially prepared supply
cord available through the service
organization.
• Save these instructions. Refer to
them frequently and use them to
instruct others who may use this tool. If
someone borrows this tool, make sure
he or she has these instructions also.
DOUBLE-INSULATED TOOLS
• 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 into the outlet
properly, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install a polarized outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way.
• Double insulation eliminates the need
for the three-wire grounded power
cord and grounded power supply
system. This compound miter saw is a
double-insulated tool.
