WARNING!
u
Read all safety warnings,
instructions, 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 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.
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 or fumes.
c)
Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
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 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.
