The term "power tool" in 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 and dark areas invite to accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite 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 outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adap-
ter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodi fi ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrige-
rators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
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.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
