Cluttere d worksite s and dar k areas invite

accidents.

Do not operate power to ols in explo si ve

atmos phere s, such as in the prese nce of

flammable liquid, gases, or dust. Power tools

create sparks which may ignite the dust or

ada pto r pl ugs . Che ck w ith a qu a li f ie d

electrician if you are in doubt as to whether

the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools

refriger ators. The re is an incr eased risk of

electric shock if your body is grounded.

Do n’ t exp os e p ow er tools to rain or we t

increase the risk of electric shock.

Don’t 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

When operating a power tool outside, use an

outdoor extension cord mar ked “W-A” or

“W.” These cords are rated for outdoor use

and reduce the risk of electric shock.
