followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following.
TO REDUCE RISK OF INJURY:

General Safety Warnings and Instructions for All Tools
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
• CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Donʼt expose power tools to rain. Donʼt use
power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use in presence of
flammable liquids or gases. Motors in these tools normally spark, and the sparks may
ignite the fumes.
• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces.
For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures. Use extreme caution when
drilling, driving, or cutting into walls, floors, ceilings or other areas or wherever live
electrical wires may be contacted, do not touch any metal parts of the tool. Hold the tools
only by the plastic handle to prevent electric shock.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Do not let children and visitors contact tool or extension cord.
All children and visitors should be kept away from work area.
• STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, and high or locked-
up place–out of reach of children.
• DONʼT FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
intended.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Donʼt force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty
tool. Donʼt use tool for purposes not intended.
• DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in
moving parts. Heavy duty gloves to protect hands and non-skid footwear are
recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• USE SAFETY GLASSES AND OTHER SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Use safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields, complying with applicable safety standards and, when
needed, a face shield. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. This
applies to all persons in the work area. Also use a hard hat, hearing protection, gloves,
safety shoes and dust collection systems when specified or required.
• DONʼT ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle.
Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. Itʼs safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate tool.
• DONʼT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool
cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free
from oil and grease.
• DISCONNECT TOOLS. Unplug the tool when not in use, when moving tool from place to
place, before servicing, and when changing accessories (such as blades, bits, cutters) or
making adjustments.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
• AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Donʼt carry tool with finger on switch. Be sure
switch is off when plugging in.
• OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension
cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
• STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when
you are tired or otherwise impaired.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and
