GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: READ AND UNDERSTAND 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 MAINS-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, 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.

CAUTION: ESTABLISH A BYSTANDER SAFETY ZONE OF 6 M (20 FT) PRIOR TO OPERATION OF THIS EQUIPMENT. Bystander safety zone is a 6 m (20 ft) circle around the operator that must remain free from bystanders, children, and pets.

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 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 cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

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.
