General Safety Rules

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Work Area Safety

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate equipment in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases, or dust. Equipment can create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operat-
ing equipment. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.

Electrical Safety

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrig-
erators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
• An improperly grounded electrical outlet can
cause electrical shock and/or severely damage
equipment. Always check work area for a properly
grounded electrical outlet. Presence of a three-prong
or GFCI outlet does not ensure that the outlet is prop-
erly grounded. If in doubt, have the outlet inspected by
a licensed electrician.
• Do not expose equipment to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering equipment will increase the risk
of electrical shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
• If operating equipment in a damp location is un-
avoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock.
• Keep all electrical connections dry and off the
ground. Do not touch equipment or plugs with wet
hands to reduce the risk of electrical shock.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use com-
mon sense when operating equipment. Do not use
equipment while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating equipment may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. The appropri-
ate use of protective equipment such as safety glass-
es, a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat,
high visibility clothing, and hearing protection will re-
duce personal injuries.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the equip-
ment in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from mov-
ing parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, and long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
