GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Read all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructions listed

below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term
"power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Save these instructions

1) Work area

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. 

Cluttered and 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 earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) 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.

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.

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 of drugs, alcohol or medication. 

A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. 

Safety equipment such as

dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before

plugging in. 

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in

power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. 

A

wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

This enables

better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
