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.
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 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 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 personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, nonskid 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
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
