safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire 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 flammable 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. Unmodified 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.
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 influence
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
