1. General power tool safety warnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifications provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below 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.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. 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 risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid bodily 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 groun-
ded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increa-
se the risk of electric shock.
d. 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.
e. 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.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
