GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS WARNING Read all safety warnings, instruc tions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warningsand instructions for future reference. The term"power tool" in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (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. 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. •If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock. PERSONAL SAFETY •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. •Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. •Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. •Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left 2 attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. •Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. •Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. •If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards. •Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to
