WARNING! Read all 

safety warnings and all 

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.

The term "power tool" in the 
warnings refers to your electric 
(corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety

a)  Keep work area clean and 

well lit. 

Cluttered or dark areas 

invite accidents.

b)  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.

c)  Keep children and bystanders 

away while operating a power 

tool. 

Distractions can cause you 

to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a)  Power tool plugs must match 

the outlet. Never modify the 

plug in any way. Do not use any 

adapter plugs with grounded 

power tools. 

Unmodified plugs 

and matching outlets will reduce 

risk of electric shock.

b)  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.

c)  Do not expose power tools 

to rain or wet conditions. 

Water 

entering a power tool will increase 
the risk of electric shock.

d)  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.

e)  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. 

f)  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. 

3. Personal safety

a)  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
