General safety instructions
for power tools
WARNING! Read all safety
directions and instructions.
Omissions in the compliance with
safety directions and instructions
can cause electrical shock, fire
and/or severe injuries.
Retain all safety directions and in-
structions for future use.
The term “Power Tools” used in the safety
instructions refers to mains-operated power
tools (with power cord) and to battery-op-
erated power tools (without power cord).
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well
lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite ac-
cidents.
b) 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.
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 adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools.
Unmodi-
fied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded surfaces,
