2. GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions, il-
lustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri-
ous injury. Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference. The term "power
tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-op-
erated (corded) power tool or battery-operat-
ed (cordless) power tool.
1. WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence 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. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power tool plugs must match the out-
let. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Un-
modified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, ra-
diators, 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 increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplug-
ging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use. Use of a cord suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp loca-
tion is unavoidable, use a residual cur-
rent device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
• Do not use the power tool in the rain,
where water is splashing, in a wet
place, or in a damp place. Using the tool
in these or similar conditions will increase
the risk of electric shock, dangerous mal-
function, and overheating.
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 medication. 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 dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, 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 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 acci-
dents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotat-
ing 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 of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair
and clothing away from moving parts.
