General safety rules

Read and understand all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow all instructions listed be-
low may result in electric shock, fi re and/or seri-
ous personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of fl ammable 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. Unmodifi ed 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 in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the pow-
er 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 re-
duces the risk of electric shock.
f) Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
„live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the
power tool „live" and shock the operator.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a pow-
er tool. Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the infl uence of drugs, al-
cohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-
tection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before plugging
in. Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the
switch or plugging in power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-
fore turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection facili-
ties, ensure these are connected and prop-
