Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the
plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord
marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
