Work Area Safety
Keep the work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate electric tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust.
Electric tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating an electric tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control of the equipment.
Electrical Safety
Electric tool plug must match the mains outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) electric tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
