SAFETY INSTR UCTIONS

General saf ety warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
!
all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in
electrtic shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Sa ve 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.
W ork area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as
dense fog, rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.
Working in bad weather is tiring and can lead to
dangerous conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
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 the 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 increase he risk of
electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unaviodable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the 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, oli, charp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
• Check that the cord and extension cord are intact and
in good condition. Never use the machine if the cord
is damaged, hand it in to an authorized service
workshop for repair.
