GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
General safety instructions
for power tools
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow all
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 all of the
warnings listed below refers to your
mains operated (corded) power tool or
battery operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids,
gasses or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust of
fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
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 the 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
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 a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are
