GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains
‑
operated (corded) power tool or
battery
‑
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work Area Safety
a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b ) 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.
c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2) Electrical Safety a ) 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.
b ) 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.
c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d ) 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.
