GENERAL POWER TOOLS
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING!! Read all safety
warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow all instruc-
tions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or
serious personal 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.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep your work area clean and
well lit. Cluttered benches and
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases, or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
c) Keep bystanders, children, and
visitors away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Do not expose power tools to
rain or wet conditions. Water en-
tering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) 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.
b) Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, nonskid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-
tection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c) 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.
d) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected
situations.
e) Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
f) Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you
to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of
a second.
