GENERAL MACHINE SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
-
illustrations and specifications provided with this
machine. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE.
The term "machine" in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) machine or battery-operated (cordless)
machine.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate machines in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Machines create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a machine. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
0280
a) Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) machines. 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 operate the machine in rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the machine may increase
the risk of electric shock or malfunction that could result
in personal injury.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the machine. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) When operating a machine outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If operating a machine in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a machine. Do not
use a machine while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating machines may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the machine. Carrying machines with your finger on the
switch or energizing machines that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the machine on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the machine in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
machines allow you to become complacent and
ignore machine safety principles. A careless action
