GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions
.
Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions 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 and 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 tools in a damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
