General safety instructions for power tools
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 Iiquids, 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.
