General Power Tool Safety
Warnings *
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all 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 benches
and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, 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 by-standers away while oper-
ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.

Electrical Safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
* The text used in the General Safety Rule section of this manual is verbatim, as required, from the applicable UL/CSA 60745 4th edition standard and EN/IEC
60745. This section contains general safety practices for many different types of power tools. Not every precaution applies to every tool, and some do not apply
to this tool.

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 re -
frig 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 electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, 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 ex-
tension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock.
• If operating a power tool 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.
