Information
WARNING
Read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Work Area Safety
• Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas may
cause accidents.
• Do not operate electrical devices in ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or heavy dust. Electrical devices create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors
away while operating electrical devices.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
• Electrical device plug must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapters 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 electrical devices to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering an
electrical device will increase the risk of
electrical shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging
the electrical device. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electrical shock.
• When operating an electrical device
outdoors, always use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
• If operating an electrical device in a
damp location is unavoidable, use a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces
the risk of electrical shock.
