GENERAL MACHINE SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING!
specifications provided with this machine. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "machine" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) machine
or battery-operated (cordless) machine.
Work 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.
Electrical Safety
◾
Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) machines. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce 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 machines to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a machine
will increase the risk of electric shock.
◾
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the machine. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
◾
When operating a machine outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
◾
If operating a machine in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
