5 – General safety
instructions for handling
power tools
I. General safety information
WARNING! Read all safety
warnings and all 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 warn-
ings refers to your mains operated
(corded) power tool or battery-oper-
ated (cordless) power tool.
1 Work area
a
Keep work area clean and well
lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
b
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 ig-
nite the dust or fumes.
c
Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool.
Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2 Electrical Safety
a
Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapt
er plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools.
Unmodified 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 re
frigerators.
There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
c
Do not expose power tools to
rain or wet conditions.
Water en-
tering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d
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 in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
e
When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
