WARNING
low the instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The
term "power tool" as used in all of the warnings listed be-
low refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool
and to battery operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1) Work area
a) Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
and dark areas can lead to accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosion-risk ar-
eas where there are flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite
dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while oper-
ating 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 grounded power tools. Un-
modified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the
risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigera-
tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. 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 of tools. Damaged or entangled
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 outdoor use 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 medica-
tion. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for the appropriate power tool will reduce the
risk of personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the "OFF" position before plugging in. Carry-
ing power tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in power tools that have the switch on in-
vites accidents.
