DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious
injury.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
I. Work area safety
1.
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
2.
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.
3.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
II. Electrical safety
1.
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.
2.
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.
3.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
4.
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.
5.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
