SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all 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 the warnings 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.
f)
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.
NOTE The term “residual current device (RCD)” can be replaced by the term “ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.
