specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
The term "power tool'' in the warnings

power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
■ Keep work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
■ Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres,
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,
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

and
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 extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use
of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
■ If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device
