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, children, and visitors away while operat-
ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords may create a fire.
• A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate
battery pack must be recharged only with the specified
charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one
type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery.
• Use battery operated tool only with the specifically
designed battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create
a risk of fire.
