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 electric (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
•
To avoid danger to life from electric
shock: The mains plug on the device
must be compatible with the socket.
The plug must not be modified in
any way. Do not use an adapter
plug with devices fitted with a
protective earth.
Unmodified plugs and
matching sockets reduce the risk of electric
shock.
•
Avoid bodily contact with earthed
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ovens and refrigerators.
There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed.
•
Keep the device away from rain or
moisture. Water ingress into an
electrical device increases the risk
of electric shock.
• Do not use the mains lead for any
purpose for which it was not
intended, e.g. to carry the device,
to hang up the device or to pull the
mains plug out of the socket. Keep
the mains lead away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or the moving parts
of the device
. Damaged or tangled mains
leads increase the risk of electric shock.
•
When working outdoors with an
electrical power tool always use
extension cables that are also
approved for use outdoors.
The use
of an extension cable suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
•
Use a residual current device (RCD)
for protection if operating the
electrical power tool in a moist
environment is unavoidable.
The 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 injury.
•
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
