General Safety Rules

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electrical 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�
• Avoid traffic. Pay attention to moving vehicles when
using on or near roadways� Wear high-visibility cloth-
ing or reflector vests�

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�
• Do not expose equipment to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering equipment will increase the risk
of electrical shock�
• Keep all electrical connections dry and off the
ground. Touching equipment or plugs with wet hands
can 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, extreme cold, oil, sharp edges, and
moving parts� Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electrical 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 electrical shock�
