General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING:
Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below 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, pets, 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. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce the risk of
electric shock
• 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

Important Safety Information
• 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) or residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of a GFCI or RCD 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.
* Item above: "If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, use a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) or residual
current device (RCD) protected supply " is
applicable to corded power tools in general;
however, use of a GFCI or RCD with Oregon
battery operated 120V Professional Series
tools is not applicable.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools 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
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
