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 atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, 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 con-
trol.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never mod-
ify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-

faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigera-
tors. 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 carry-
ing, 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 elec-
tric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-
able 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 an GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock.
