working. Do not use power tools in damp or wet
locations. Keep the work area well lit. Do not expose
power tools to rain. Do not use power tools in the

contact with the tool or extension cord.
4. Store tools safely. When not in use, tools should
be locked up out of reach.
5. Do not force the tool. The tool will do the job

and grease.

sense. Do not operate a tool when you are tired.
