General Power Tool Safety Warnings

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.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery operated (cordless) power tool
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or 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 children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce the risk of electric shock

Important Safety Information
MEANING
Indicates that if the danger is not avoided, it will cause serious
property damage, injury or death

Following this instruction will increase satisfaction with the tool
• Avoid body 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 grounded
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock **
• 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
• 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
• If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected
supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock *
** Item above: "Do not expose power tools
to rain or wet conditions " is applicable to
power tools in general; however, Oregon
battery operated 120V Professional Series
tools have been specifically designed for
operation during exposure to rain or wet
conditions.
