GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING:
Read all safety
warnings and instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, re 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
1. Keep the work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. 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.
3. Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
SERVICE
1. Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
