GENERAL SAFETy RULES
WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of
the warnings listed below refers to your corded power tool or battery operated
(cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORk AREA
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas increase the risk of accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETy
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized service
facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged.
3) PERSONAL SAFETy
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust masks,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce the risk of personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have
the switch ON increases the risk of accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool ON.
A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool increases the risk of personal injury.
