When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce

For safe operations:

power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit.
Do not use power tools where there is risk to cause fi re or explosion.

surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators).
4. Keep children and infi rm persons away. Do not let visitors touch the tool or
