SAFETY WARNINGS
1. WORK AREA SAFETY
•
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Clut-
tered or dark areas invite accidents.
•
Do not operate power tools in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence 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.
Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
•
Indoor use only.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•
Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operat-
ing a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the in-
fluence of drugs, alcohol or medica-
tion.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
•
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec-
tion used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
•
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to battery pack, picking up
or carrying the tool.
Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or en-
ergizing power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
This enables
better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
•
Remove any adjusting wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may result in a personal in-
jury.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
