GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "electrical equipment " in all
of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate electrical equipment in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Electrical equipment creates
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating electrical equipment. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Electrical equipment plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) electrical
equipment. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose electrical equipment to rain or wet conditions. Water entering electrical equipment will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the electrical equipment. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating electrical equipment outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
