General Safety Rules

Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
WARNING
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or se-
rious injury. 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1) Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite ac-
cidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools cre-
ate 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.
2) 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 the
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.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
