Work area
•
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
•
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.
•
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
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
•
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.
• 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 outdoor extension cord suitable for outdoor
use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
