GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
ѥ
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/
or serious personal injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in all warnings listed below refers to corded power tools
or battery-operated (cordless) power tools.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive environments, 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 may 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 grounded power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is 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 the 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.
