GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

,_ WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to

follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)

power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any

way. Do not use any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of

electric shock.

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

Do not 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 for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp

edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.

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.
if operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a

ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCl) protected supply. Use of a GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.
