SAFETY inFORmATiOn
Work Area Safety
• Keep the work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and 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 adaptor 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 the 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.
