General Power Tool Safety
Warnings
WARNING Read all safety
warnings and instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric
shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
The term ″power tool″ in the
warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool.
Work area safety1.
Keep work area clean and wella.
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools inb.
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of ammable liquids,
gases or dust.
Keep children and bystandersc.
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical safety2.
Power tool plugs must match thea.
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with grounded power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.

Page 3SKU 67102 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.
Avoid body contact with groundedb.
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rainc.
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never used.
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging 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 toole.
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
If operating tool in a damp locationf.
is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected
supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock.
Personal safety3.
Stay alert, watch what you area.
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the inuence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
Use safety equipment.b. Always
wear ANSI-approved safety goggles,
heavy-duty work gloves and face
shield during use.
Do not overreach. Keep properc.
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
Power tool use and care4.
Do not force tool. Use the correcta.
tool for your application. The
correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
Disconnect the plug from theb.
power source and/or the battery
pack from the tool before making
any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of the reach ofc.
children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the tool or these
instructions to operate the power
tool. Welding tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
Maintain welding tools. Check ford.
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect
the tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp ande.
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the tool and accessoriesf.
in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the
tool for operations different from

hazardous situation.
Service5.
Have your tool serviced by aa.

identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the tool
is maintained.

GROUNDING
TO PREVENT
ELECTRIC SHOCK
AND DEATH FROM
INCORRECT GROUNDING
WIRE CONNECTION: Check
with a qualied electrician if
you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify plug
provided with tool. Never
remove grounding prong from
plug. Do not use tool if power
cord or plug is damaged. If
damaged, have it repaired by
a service facility before use. If
plug will not t outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a
qualied electrician.
Grounded Tools: Tools with Three
Prong Plugs
Tools marked with “Grounding1.
Required” have a three wire cord and
three prong grounding plug. Plug
must be connected to a properly
grounded outlet. If tool should
electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity
away from user, reducing risk of
electric shock. (See 3-Prong Plug
and Outlet.)
