GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCIONS FOR
ELECTRICAL POWER TOOLS
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not work with the power tool in a hazar-
dous environment where are flammable li-
quids, gases or dusts. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a machine. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the out-
let. Never modifythe plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs witheart-
hed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs andmatching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or groun-
ded surfaces,such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an in-
creased risk of electric shock if your body ise-
arthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. . Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electricshock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying,pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord awayfrom heat,
oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Dama-
gedor entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extensioncord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitablefor outdoor use re-
duces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp loca-
tion is unavoidable,use a residual current
device (RCD) protectedsupply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
