CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
GENERAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
This product can expose you to
chemicals including lead, which is known
to the State of California to cause cancer
and other birth defects or other repro-
ductive harm. For more information go to
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
WARNING:
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
flammable 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.
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.
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.
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 ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected
supply.
Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Use battery only with charger listed.
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.
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.
