General Safety Rules
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!
Work Area
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate equipment in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Equipment can create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and by-standers away while oper-
ating equipment. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical Safety
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig-
erators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose equipment to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering equipment will increase the risk
of electrical shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the equipment.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
• If operating equipment in a damp location is un-
avoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces
the risk of electric shock.
• Keep all electrical connections dry and off the
ground. Do not touch equipment or plugs with
wet hands. This reduces the risk of electrical shock.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating equipment. Do not
use equipment while you are tired or under the in-
fluence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating equipment may result in
serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the equip-
ment in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
