GENERAL SAFEtY RuLES

 WARNING!  Read all instructions

 

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, 

fire, and/or serious injury.

  The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed 

below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool.

SAVe THeSe iNSTRUCTiONS

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.

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 safety equipment.  Always wear eye protection.  

Safety equipment 

such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection 

used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting.  ensure the switch is in the off-position before 

plugging in.  Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in 

power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
