SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WORK AREA

1. Keep the work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered and 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 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.

4. Do not abuse the cable. Never use the cable for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges

or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric

shock.

5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable

for outdoor use. Use of a cable suitable for outdoor use reduces 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

inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

2. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This

enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
