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 of the warnings listed below refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 of 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.
