Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury. The term “power

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area Safety

1) Keep work area clean and well lit.

C l u t t e r e d o r d a r k a r e a s i n v i t e
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.

U n m o d i f i e d p l u g s a n d m a t c h i n g
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) W h e n o p e r a t i n g a p o w e r t o o l

outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable 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 m o m e n t o f i n a t t e n t i o n w h i l e
operating power tools may result in
personal injury.

2)

Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection.

S a f e t y e q u i p m e n t s u c h a s d u s t
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.

Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or plugging in the power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
