GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions 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 refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep the 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.
WARNING!
• Safety symbols in this instruction manual are used to flag possible dangers. The safety symbols
and their explanations require your full understanding. The safety warnings do not, by themselves,
eliminate any danger, nor are they substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.
• This safety alert symbol indicates caution, warning, or danger. Failure to obey a safety warning
can result in serious injury to yourself or others. To reduce the risk of injury, fire, or electric shock,
always follow the safety precautions.
• 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,
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.
• 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 ground-
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces
the risk of electric shock.
