GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in all of 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 and 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.

==WARNING:
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
(e) 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.
(f) 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.

3. Personal safety

(a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing 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.
(b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
(c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
(d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
