General safety warnings

Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock,
� 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.
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
� ammable 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.
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. Unmodi� ed
plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• 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 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.
• 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.
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 in� uence
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
� nger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
