SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING!! Read all safety
warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric
shock, fi re and/or serious personal
injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warn-
ings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-op-
erated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep your work area clean
and well lit. Cluttered benches
and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of fl am-
mable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep bystanders, children,
and visitors away while opera-
ting 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. Unmodifi ed plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with
grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an in-
creased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to
rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Nev-
er use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or en-
tangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoida-
ble, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter protected supply.
Use of a ground fault circuit
interrupter 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
infl uence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating po-
wer tools may result in serious
