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 the 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 or
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 ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Use of a GFCI reduces
the risk of electric shock
.
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, ill, 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.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source and/or battery, picking up or carrying
the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing appliance.
Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
