tered or dark areas invite accidents.

atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust.

tions 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, radi-
ators, 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
