Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in 

electric shock, 

fi

 re and/or serious injury.

 Save all warnings and

Cluttered or dark areas 

invite accidents.

b) 

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such

Unmodi

fi

 ed plugs and matching outlets 

will reduce risk of electric shock.

b)

such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. 

There is an 

increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c)
