GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING
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 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 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.
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) protected supply . Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

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 a 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 . Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch, or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on . A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach . Keep proper footing and balance at all times . This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool . Failure to follow all instructions listed
