General
PoWer Tool Safety Warnings
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
__
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire 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 or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas inviteaccidents.
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.
Keep children and bystanders
away while
operating
a power tool.
Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical
safety
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.
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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increasethe risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use 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 increasethe risk of electric shock.
When operating
a power tool 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 a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable,
use a Ground Fault Circuit
interrupter (GFCl) protected supply. Use of
an GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal
safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing 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 personal injury.
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 appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional
starting. Ensure 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 energizing power tools that have the
switch on invitesaccidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
_1
turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a
@_-_
key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing
and
gloves
away from
moving
parts.
Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
tf devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction
and collection
facilities,
ensure these are connected
and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool
use and care
Do not force
the power
tool.
Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot
be controlled
with the switch
is
dangerous and must be repaired.
