Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.c. Dis-
tractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety2.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.a.
Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodied plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, rangesb.
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or un-c.
plugging the power tool. Keep 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 ford.
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock.
Personal safety3.

-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection and a full faceb.
shield. Safety equipment such as ventilator mask, non-skid safety
shoes, solvent resistant gloves, or hearing protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plug-c.
ging in. Plugging in power tools that have the switch on, invites accidents.

tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be re-
paired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack fromc.
the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,e.
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
