GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains
operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area
(a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
(b) 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.
(c) Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.

6. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

(a) 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.
(b) 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.
(c) Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
(d) 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.

shock, fire and/or serious injury.
(e) When operating a power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
(f) If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected
supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk
of electric shock.

6. PERSONAL SAFETY

(a) 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 opera-
ting power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
(b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec-
tion used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
(c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off position before
connecting to power source and/or batte-
ry pack, picking up or carying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
