General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING
– Read all safety warnings and 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 warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
2.1 Work area safety
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or 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 ignite the dust or fumes.
c)
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2.2 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.
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
refrigerators.
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 entering 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 increase the risk of
electric shock.
