3.1 General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, in-
structions, 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.
■
Save all warnings and instructions for fu-
ture reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or bat-
tery-operated (cordless) power tool.
3.1.1 Work area safety
■
Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered 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.
3.1.2 Electrical safety
■
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 elec-
tric shock.
■
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radia-
tors, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
■
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
■
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 and moving parts.
Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
■
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
■
If operating a power tool in a damp loca-
tion is unavoidable, use a residual current
