General Safety Rules

WARNING
Read all safety warnings and instruc-
tions. 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 your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence of flammable liquids, gases, or
dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and by-standers away
while operating a power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

• Power tool plug must match the out-
2
let. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Un-
modified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radi-
ators, ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electrical 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 electrical shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling, or unplug-
ging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease the risk of electrical shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use. Use of a cord suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp lo-
cation is unavoidable, use a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected
supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of
electrical shock.
