SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!
Work Area Safety
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flam mable liquids,
gases, or dust. Tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and by-standers away while oper-
ating 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 adap -
ter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Un modified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig-
erators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
• 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.
• When operating a tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion 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.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating equipment. Do not use
a tool while you are tired or under the influence of
