General Safety Warnings

General power tool safety warnings

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

mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated

(cordless) power tool.

• Work area safety

Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or 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.

Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

• Electrical safety

Power tool plugs must match the socket. Never

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter

plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching sockets will reduce the

risk of electric shock.
