SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this
power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
The term "power tool" in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
1) Work Area Safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical Safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools.
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 power tools to rain or
wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
Read all safety
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplug-
ging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool out-
doors, 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 a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a resid-
ual current device (RCD) protected
supply.
Use of RCD reduces the risk of electri-
cal shock.
3) Personal Safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appro-
priate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. En-
sure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a ro-
tating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
