Warning
1. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions cause a loss of
control.

adapter plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.

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