SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, 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 instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
1.
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
2.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical safety
1.
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.
2.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
4.
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.
5.
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.
6.
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.
7.
Power tools can produce electromagnetic
fields (EMF) that are not harmful to the user.
However, users of pacemakers and other similar
medical devices should contact the maker of their
device and/or doctor for advice before operating
this power tool.
