GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: READ ALL SAFETY
WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions may result in electric shock
or injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUC-
TIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term ″power tool″ in the warnings
refers to your main-operated (corded)
power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explo -
sive atmospheres, such as in the pres -
ence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distrac -
tions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with

erate injury.
earthed (grounded) power tools. Un -
modified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radia -
tors, ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a pow -
er tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
4. 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.
5. When operating a power tool out -
doors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protect -
ed supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk
of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operat -
ing a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the in-
fluence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operat -
ing power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
2. Use personal protective safety equip
-
ment. Always wear eye protection. Safe -
ty equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate condi -
tions will reduce personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the OFF-position before
connecting to power source and/or bat -
