WARNING!
When using the power tool, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, and personal injury. These include:
1. Keep work area clean and well-lit – Cluttered, dark
areas invite accidents.
2. Avoid dangerous environments – Do not use the power
tool in rain, in damp or wet locations, or in bad weather,
especially when there is a risk of lighting. This decreases
the risk of being struck by lighting. Do not operate the
power tool in gaseous or explosive atmospheres or use
the power tool near flammable or combustible liquids.
Motors in these tools normally spark, and the sparks
might ignite fumes.
3. Know your product – Know how to start and stop the
machine. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls.
4. Keep children, bystanders, and pets away – All
spectators, including pets, should be kept a safe distance
away from the work area.

fitting clothing, protective gloves, hearing and head
protection.

operating the power tool overhead. Falling debris can
