General Safety
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.
WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "appliance" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) appliance or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate appliance in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating an appliance. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical safety
a) Appliance plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) Appliance. 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 appliance to rain or wet conditions. Water entering an appliance will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
appliance. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) If operating an appliance in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating an
appliance. Do not use an appliance while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating appliances may result in
serious personal injury.
