b.
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.

c.
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the power cord.
d.
Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep the cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool out-
e.
doors, use an Extension cord (not
included) suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp
f.
location is unavoidable, use a
ground Fault circuit Interrupter
(gFcI) protected supply. Use of
a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.

ing 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 operating power
tools may result in serious personal
injury.
Use personal protective equip-

carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the Switch or
energizing power tools that have the
Switch on invites accidents.

d.
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper
e.
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
f.
clothing or jewelry. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
Only use safety equipment that
g.
has been approved by an appropri-
ate standards agency. Unapproved
safety equipment may not provide
adequate protection. Eye protection
must be ANSI-approved and breath-
ing protection must be NIOSH-ap-
proved for the specific hazards in the
work area.
