GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings
and all instructions. Failure to
follow the war nings and in-
structions may result in elec-
tric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference. The
term "power tool" in the warnings
re fers to your mains-operated
(corded) 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 at mospheres,
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 bystand-
ers away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match
the outlet. Ne ver modify
the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with
earthed(grounded) power
tools.
Unmodified plugs and match-
ing outlets will re duce risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded sur
faces, such as pipes, radi
ators, ranges and refriger
ators. 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 elec-
tric shock.
d) Do not use the cord im-
properly. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the po wer tool.
Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or en tangled
cords increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
e) When operating a power
tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for out-
door use. Using a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool
in a damp location is un-
avoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) pro-
tected supply. Using an RCD
reduces the risk of electric
shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you
are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are
tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medica-
tion. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools
may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Use personal protective
equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective
