. GENERAL SAFE­
TY RULES
WARNING! Read all instructions
Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury. The term “power tool” in all
of the warnings listed below refers to your
main operated (corded) power tool and
battery operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area Safety
1) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
2) Do not operate power tools in ex­
plosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liq­
uids, 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.
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 out-
lets 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 elec-
tric 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 in-
crease 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 in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
5) When operating a power tool out­
doors, use an extension cord suit­
able for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
1) 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 oper-
ating power tools may result in per-
sonal injury.
2) Use safety equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
3) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off position
before plugging in.
