SAFETY RULES

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL SAFETY WARNINGS 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 REFERS TO YOUR MAINS-OPERATED (CORDED)
POWER TOOL OR BATTERY OPERATED (CORDLESS) POWER TOOL.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate the power tool 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.
• Keep children and bystanders away
while operating the power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• 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.
• 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.
6
• Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
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
location is unavoidable, use a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces
the risk of electric shock.
