GENERAL SAFE-
TY RULES
WARNING!
Read all instructions
Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury. The term “power
tool” in all of the warnings listed below
refers to your main operated (corded)
power tool and battery operated
(cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area Safety
1) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
) Do not operate power tools in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
3) Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical Safety
1) 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.
) 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.
3) Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
4) 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.
5) When operating a power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
1) Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when oper-
ating 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 personal
injury.
) Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before
plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or plugging in the power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
4) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
5) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
6) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
