I. GENERAL
SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
Read all instructions
Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury. The term "power tool" in all
of the warnings listed below refers to your
mains operated (corded) power tool and
battery operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area Safety
1) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2) 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.
3) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
4) 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.
5) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
6) If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RC D) protected supply.
Use of RCD reduces the risk of electrical
shock.
Personal Safety
1) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in personal injury.
2) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
3) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before
plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in the power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
