General power tool safety instructions
WARNING Read all the safety notes, instructions, illustrations and
technical details supplied with this power tool.
Failure to follow the safety
notices and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/or severe
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” used in the safety instructions refers to mains-operated
power tools (corded) and battery-powered power tools (cordless).
Work area safety
a)
Keep your 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.
If you are distracted, you could lose control of the power tool.
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 use the cord for improper purposes such as for carrying
the power tool, for hanging it up or for pulling or unplugging
it from the socket. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e)
When operating a power tool outdoors, use only extension cords
that are suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
