General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING: Read and understand 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. 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 the power tool 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 the 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 adapter 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.
