Work Area Safety
• Keep your work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
• Do not operate equipment in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. E quip ment can create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and by-standers a way
while operating equipment. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
• Avoid body contact with earthed or
ground ed surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electri-
cal shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.

wet conditions. Water en tering equip-
ment will increase the risk of electrical
shock.

ing equipment. Do not use equipment
while you are tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while oper-
ating equipment may result in serious
personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times. This en-
ables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
