GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifi cations provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
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 fl ammable 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.
Unmodifi ed 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.

SAFETY
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
infl uence 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 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 tool.
Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the switch or energising
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.
e)
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair and clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery 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.
