This section contains the prescribed general safety warnings and

handheld tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery
contained in UL 62841-1. Additional important warnings and instructions are
provided in subsequent sections of this manual.
Important Safety Instructions
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire,
serious injury and/or property damage.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) 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, 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 the 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.
