General Safety Rules

WARNING
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire,
and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
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 your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flam mable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and by-standers away while oper-
ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2
• Keep floors dry and free of slippery materials
such as oil. Slippery floors invite accidents.
• Guard or barricade the area when work piece ex -
tends beyond machine. A guard or barricade that
provides a minimum of three (3) feet clearance around
the work piece will reduce the risk of entanglement.

Electrical Safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adap -
ter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Un modified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
• 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 power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electrical shock.
