General safety warnings
General machine safety warnings:
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this machine.
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 “machine” in the warnings refers
to your mains operated (corded) machine or battery
operated (cordless) machine.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate machines in explosive atmos
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Machines create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a machine. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor
plugs with earthed (grounded) machines.
U nmodified 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 machines to rain or wet condi
tions. Water entering a machine will increase the risk
of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the machine. 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 machine 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 machine in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a machine. Do
not use a machine while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating machines may
result in serious personal injury.
