GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fi re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. The term “powe r tool ” in the warnings refers to your
mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
1. 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 fl 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.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
> 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.
> 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
