Safety instructions
General power tool safety warnings
Warning! Read all safety warnings
and all instructions.
Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
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.
1 Work area safety
a Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or 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.
e 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
a 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.
b Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
