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 flammable Iiquids,
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. 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.
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 or 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 influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention white
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 energising power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
