SAFETY & WARNINGS
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" refers to your
mains operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area
•
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and 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 bystanders and children away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control of the device.
Electrical safety
1.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
2.
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.
3.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
4.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use to reduce the risk of electric shock.
6.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply to reduce the risk of electric shock.
