shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all
of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
c)
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.
d)
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 increase the risk
of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
e)
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
3)
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
a)
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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment
b)
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c)
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch
or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d)
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before 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.
