GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety

warnings and all 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.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings – 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 liquids, fumes or dust.

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Electrical Safety

Power charger plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) chargers.

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 electrical shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

Do not expose power tools, power chargers or Power Cells to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the tool,

chargers or Power Cells will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the power cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the charger. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts. Damaged or
