5 – General safety instruc
tions for handling power
tools
WARNING! Read all safety warn
ings and all instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings

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 elec
tric 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.
e When operating a power tool out
doors, use an extension cord suit
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f If it is not possible to avoid
using the electrical tool in a damp
