IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

W A R N I N G
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injurys.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
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. 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.
E. 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.
F. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
A. 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 serious personal injury.
B. 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.
C. 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 power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
