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 grounded power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is 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 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.
5. 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.
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. Use personal protective equipment.Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-
position before connecting to power source, picking up or carrying
