third-party products, there is a risk of
injuries as well as damage caused by
exploding batteries.

General Power Tool
Safety Warnings
The term "power tool" in the warnings
refers to your main-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 atmospheres, 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 the 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 electric
shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
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 medication. A moment of
