SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
This tool, as a complete unit with a battery pack,
satisfies appropriate IP Degrees of Protection
