SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GENRAL SAFETY RULES

 WARNING:

  Read  all  safety  warnings  and  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

 

 

keep work area clean and well lit. 

Cluttered or 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.

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 extension cord suitable 

for outdoor use. 

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of 

electric shock.

 

 

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.
