Caution
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow all warnings and
instructions can result in electric shock, fire, and / or serious injury.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Note: Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
1) Work area safety
a. Keep the work area clean and well lit to avoid accidents.
b. Do not use power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust that can cause fires.
c. Keep children and other unauthorized persons away while using a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of the tool.
2) Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Using a proper plug reduces the risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is 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. Never use the cord to carry, pull, or unplug the power tool. Keep the cord
away from heat or oil.
e. When using a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use.
f. If it is unavoidable to use the tool in a humid location, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply to reduce the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal security
a. Always be alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating the tool.
b. Do not use a power tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs or
other substances.
c. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used in the right conditions will reduce personal
injury. Also, do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
d. Avoid accidentally turning the tool on. Make sure the switch is in the off
position before connecting it to the power supply and moving it.
e. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning on the power tool. A
wrench or wrench attached to a rotating part of the power tool can cause
serious injury.
f. If dust extraction and collection devices are used, make sure they are
properly connected. Use these devices properly and you will reduce dust
hazards.
