WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions
for future reference.
The term “power
tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) 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.
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 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 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
electric shock.
•
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.
•
If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.
Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common 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.
A
moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal njury.
