2.
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.
3.
Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical Safety
1.
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.
2.
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.
3.
Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
4.
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.

5.
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.
6.
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
1.
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.
2.
Use personal protective
equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats,
or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce the
risk of injury.
3.
Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to the power source
and/or battery pack, picking up, or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or power
