4. General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow all warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
4.1 Work Area
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and 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.
4.2 Electrical Safety
• 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.
• Avoid body contract with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
• 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.
• If operating a power tool on a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Use of a GCFI reduces
the risk of electric shock.
4.3 Power Tool Use and Care

• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
• Store idle power tool out of the reach children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool of these instructions to
operate the power tool.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or sticking of moving parts, breakage of parts and other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
