SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area Safety

1) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
2) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
3) Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.

Electrical Safety

1) Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapt-
er plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching out-
lets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2) Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and re-
frigerators.
