4. SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING.
Read and understand 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 below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Save these instructions
4.1 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.
Distractions can
cause you to lose
control.
4.2 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 outdoor extension cord suitable
for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric
shock.
4.3 Personal safety
z
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.
z
Use safety equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as a dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
z
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.
z
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the tool on.
