WARNING!

When using the power tool, basic safety

precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of

fire, electric shock, and personal injury. These include:

1. Keep work area clean and well-lit – Cluttered, dark

areas invite accidents.

2. Avoid dangerous environments – Do not use the power

tool in rain, in damp or wet locations, or in bad weather,

especially when there is a risk of lighting. This decreases

the risk of being struck by lighting. Do not operate the

power tool in gaseous or explosive atmospheres or use

the power tool near flammable or combustible liquids.

Motors in these tools normally spark, and the sparks

might ignite fumes.

3. Know your product – Know how to start and stop the

machine. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls.

4. Keep children, bystanders, and pets away – All

spectators, including pets, should be kept a safe distance

away from the work area.
