WORK AREA SAFETY

◾Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

◾Do not operate power tools in explosive environments, such as in the

presence of ﬂammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks,

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

◾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.

◾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 the risk of electric shock.

◾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 the 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.
