Safety
WARNING: When using electric gardening appliances,
always follow basic safety precautions to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury,
including the following:
WARNING
Failure to follow all warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious personal injury.
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term "power tool" in all the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
A. Keep the 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, gasses, 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.
D. Avoid dangerous environments. Do not
use appliances in damp or wet locations.
2. 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 equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
C. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the O
connecting to power source and/or
battery pack and picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energizing power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
