General Safety Rules
Warning!
Read all instructions.
Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings
listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool
or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1)
Work area
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas
invite accidents.
b)
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.
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.
Unmodified 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 increase the risk of electric shock.
d)
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 or moving parts.
Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock
.
d)
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
3)
Personal safety

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.
