General safety instructions for power
tools
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
The term "power tool" in warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-op-
erated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite to accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite 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 adapt-
er plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
