GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or other 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
•
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
•
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.
•
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
•
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 the risk of electric shock.
•
Avoid bodily 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.
•
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
•
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 and moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
•
Only use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of the machine. When
using a cable reel, always unwind the reel completely. Inadequate extension cords can be
dangerous.
•
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.
•
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
•
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 medi-
cation. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
•
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, a hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
•
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the Off position before connecting
to a power source and/or battery pack, or picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or charging power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
•
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.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control
