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 the warnings listed below refers to
your power tool (corded) or power tool (wireless) with
batteries.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This equipment should be operated in compliance with all OSHA regulations.
Work area
•
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and 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. Distraction can cause you to lose
control.
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 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 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 or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
•
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoe, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
•
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
