ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way.
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 **
• 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
