GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read all instructions
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
re, and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed
below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work area safety1.
Keep work area clean and well lit. a. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the pres-b.
ence 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. c. Dis-
tractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety2.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. a.
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, radia-b.
tors, 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. c. 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 un-d.
plugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
Personal safety3.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a.
a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inu-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. b. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec-
tion used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. c. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
