SAFETY WARNINGS

General power tool safety warnings

WARNING:

Read all safety warnings, instruc-

tions, illustrations and specifications provided 

with this power tool.

 Failure to follow all instructions 

listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or 

serious injury.

Save all warnings and instruc-

tions 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

1. 

Keep work area clean and well lit.

 Cluttered or 

dark areas invite accidents.

2. 

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-

spheres, such as in the presence of flammable 

liquids, gases or dust.

 Power tools create sparks 

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. 

Keep children and bystanders away while 

operating a power tool.

 Distractions can cause 

you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

1. 

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.

2. 

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded 

surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and 

refrigerators.

 There is an increased risk of elec-

tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

3. 

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-

ditions.

 Water entering a power tool will increase 

the risk of electric shock.

4. 

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.

5. 

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.

6. 

If operating a power tool in a damp location is 

unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit inter-

rupter (GFCI) protected supply.

 Use of a GFCI 

reduces the risk of electric shock.

7. 

Power tools can produce electromagnetic 

fields (EMF) that are not harmful to the user.

However, users of pacemakers and other similar 

medical devices should contact the maker of their 

device and/or doctor for advice before operating 

this power tool.

Personal Safety

1. 

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 med

-

ication.

 A moment of inattention while operating 

power tools may result in serious personal injury.
