General Machine Safety Warnings

WARNING—Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this machine.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
The term "machine" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated
(corded) machine or battery-operated (cordless) machine.
1. Work area safety
A. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
B. Do not operate the machine in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust. The machine creates sparks,
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
C. Keep children and bystanders away while operating the machine. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
A. Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with an earthed (grounded) machine. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
B. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
C. Do not expose the machine to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a machine
will increase the risk of electric shock.
D. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the machine. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
E. When operating the machine outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
F. If operating the machine in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
