General power tool safety warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock; fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in
the warnings refers to your main operated (corded) power tool or battery operated
(cordless) power tool.
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, gasses or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust of fumes.
 Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Electrical Safety
 Power tools 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.
