GENERAL SAFETY
RULES
WARNING! Read all instructions
Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury. The term “power
tool” in all of the warnings listed below
refers to your main operated (corded)
power tool and battery operated
(cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area Safety
1) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
2) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
3)
Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical Safety
1) Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapt-
er plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
2)
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
3) Do not expose power tools to
rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
4) Do not abuse the cord. Never
use the cord for carrying, pulling
or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
5) When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Personal Safety
1) Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while oper-
ating power tools may result in se-
rious personal injury.
2) Use safety equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
3) Avoid accidental starting. En-
sure the switch is in the off posi-
tion before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your fin-
ger on the switch or plugging in the
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
4) Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
