•  Keep the 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 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.
