GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING:
Read all safety
warnings and instructions.
Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools near
flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may
ignite flammable products or dust.
Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adaptor 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 type 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).
Use of a
GFCI 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
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.
