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 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
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
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
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 residual current device (RCD)
