SAFETY WARNINGS
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 electric (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
WARNING
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals
known to the state of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products,
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals, work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed to
lter out microscopic particles.
WARNING
This product may contain lead,
phthalates or other chemicals known to the
state of California to cause cancer, birth defects
and other reproductive harm. Please wash your
hands after use.
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 electric (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded
power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• 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 residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• 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 inuence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
• 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.
