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 Iiquids,
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
Caution! The following states how
to avoid accidents and injuries due
to electric shock:
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.
Unmodi-
fied 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 tool in a
damp location is unavoidable,
use a RCD (Residual Current
Device) protected supply with
a rated leakage current of not
more than 30 mA.
Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
