INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety 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.
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.
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.
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 RCD reduces the risk of
electrical shock.
3) Personal Safety
a) 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.
b) Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protec-
tion.
